About this listen

The Black Book is Orhan Pamuk's tour de force, a stunning tapestry of Middle Eastern and Islamic culture which confirmed his reputation as a writer of international stature. Richly atmospheric and Rabelaisian in scope, it is a labyrinthine novel suffused with the sights, sounds and scents of Istanbul, an unforgettable evocation of the city where East meets West, and a boldly unconventional mystery that plumbs the elusive nature of identity, fiction, interpretation and reality.

I abandoned this book after 3 chapters. The stilted narration was extremely distracting, to the point of not being able to follow the story, much less engage with the characters. it is possible the book would be better, but the audio book was worthless, and it has put me off Orhan Pamuk.

Weird narration, no opinion on the story
