[MonsieurSinan]

In my eyes he is a well writer... today there is nobody in turkey who can write colorful or with this fantasy...somebody say he is the turkish Dostojewski...maybe.

.Orhan Pamuk is an Internet thief. The internet is a bunch who take notes and use those to their movies, novels. Orhan Pamuk wrote his book on The Museum of Innocence

[MuzikliMuzik]

Orhan Pamuk bir chat manyagidir. Romanlarini chattan calarak yazamistir!

Internett bir hirsiz sebekesi var, yazilariniz calip, filmlerde, dizlerde ve romanlarda kullaniyorlar. Mahsumiyet Muzesi Orhan internetten calinarak yazilan bir romandir.

[MuzikliMuzik]

Nasil atabilirim bu adamin resmini benim sayfamdan?

[MuzikliMuzik]

Ne cirkin bir adam!

[sabasado]

He is a greater writer, rancending his Turkish identity.

[TheZEYNUDDIN]

Fuck off Pamuk, you are the big liar and you hit turkish people's back. You work for CIA OR FBI. You are also helping to western world. We hate you, go to USA and Europe because they are saying we have democracy and human rights.

[Serpico261]

@TheZEYNUDDIN nice parody haha, first i thought you were one of these primitive fascist nationalistic morons, but then i realized you are simply reflecting reality with this kind of parody

[alinn71]

incredibly familiar approach, great interview.

[deceiver123m]

THUMBS UP IF YOU'RE WATCHING THIS HIGH ON WEED!!!

[AtillaCengizTimur]

I never knew he is a jew (yahudi) from Turkey,one day I haven seen an ad in San Francisco Chronicle under-famous jewish writers going to sing their books etc.-This guy is a from very rich family,he never worked in life.He had so much time to come up or make up phony-fake ass stories.I believe he is using jews for his personal gains.Mr.pamuk thinks that he is talking for all Turkish citizens.In Turkey he has zero-none credibility-respectability.He is a loser,he is a dishonest crooked person !

[MsDulsineya]

@AtillaCengizTimur

Pomuk is a Talented writer, a humanist!

Read a book or two....

You are a stupid uneducated racist..

good luck and may God prevent you from spilling this black poison from you polluted heart to the next generation

[AtillaCengizTimur]

@MsDulsineya Thank you for your insults,I guess that u are very educated and free of all kind of prejudices.I don't respect to person who never worked one day in his life,Pamuk dosen't know any type of hardship,give same oppurtunities to anyone he or she can make up better stories.By the way I read entire world classics,and also all the books of Pamuk.I am very dissapointed with many so called great famous writers, that is why I think to write real good books after my age 50,see u then ..

[vladeut]

@AtillaCengizTimur

No, you are analphabeta!

[hakanci68]

türkiyenin gururu.

[meteads]

As a Turkish citizen, I am NOT proud of him. A Turkish writer has to have some words to say about his world. If some writer fulls his wallet seeming lovely to western nations, I would rather think he is a shame ! Lots of things to say about this issue...

[tophermalpractices]

whoa, thought overload... he just spews it out in 40 mins... I could imagine an Orham Pamuk parallel modernism master class.

[KingMZAProductions2]

4: 26 to 4: 30 is jokes

[xxhyestyle818x]

Some of you people below me are quite naive. Why would you think his English should be perfect? I recommend to all you , who criticize his language skills learn any foreign language...uhm perhaps French? or Turkish? I personally happen to speak 5 language but its quite hard to be fluent in all those languages besides English. So go grab a life

[Humanity61]

“Political conformism?” Political conformity is the opposite of what O. Pamuk has inspired within and outside the Turkish community. Critical thinking is what he encourages.

[kinalevi]

@Humanity61 no. he's trendy and encourages derivative thinking within conventional boundaries. he has inspired naught within or outside any community. the guy ain't exactly burroughs is he now

[aydanderen]

If his books were translated more accurately I’m sure he would receive even more praise. O Pamuk speaks excellent Turkish. His original books are not easy to read because he is an amazing but challenging writer. It didn’t bother me at all that he was nervous or made grammatical mistakes. It shows he is human. I wasn’t paying attention to language related errors since I focused more on what he was saying.

[alitalati]

What's wrong with you people! Mr. Pamuk doesn't in any way have to be revered in English cuz it's not his mother tongue and English is not a key to judge once humanity or the writer's quality, and yet he's perfectly using it with a highly sophisticated vocabulary as an original English speaker could do... please get over the superficiality and listen to him, or better, grab one of his books and enjoy the wonderful art of description, details and the words' decorative embellishment.

[qxw667]

you think his english is bad? Well, his Turkish is no better...

[kinalevi]

@qxw667 haha brilliant! seriously the guy owes half his success to translators -and the other half to easy political conformism nudge nudge wink wink-. in the originals he sounds corny as hell -even cornier than the phrase corny as hell-.

[GardenofJade]

@basicflesh Professor Pamuk speaks rapidly. Better to say nothing than to state such negative comments? Pamuk's voice is like music and what he has to say in this interview is like listening to a sonata. Why can't you hear it? He is obviously genius of a very high order - and you? Your comments: Petty, nonsensical and ridiculous. Grow up; appreciate the gifts of genius that Orhan Pamuk offers his readers. You can in no way approximate him in stature, intelligence or eloquence.

[kinalevi]

@GardenofJade now THIS. this is obviously sarcasm of a very high order. feels so natural and so philistine - a union only a natural philistine can consummate in expression. the excellence - simplicity thing trenchant here, loving it. engineered layers of fakes and feigns may yield some sarcastic constructure, but this is so PURE mate. beautiful. kudos and hails and all the rest.

[basicflesh]

am curious about what made O. Pamuk so excited or anxious that he is unable to speak proper-ly. He cannot pronounce the word civilization.---his tongue is twisted! He also uses the pronoun 'she' to describe his father (see 10:10.) However, the interviewer perfectly tolerates his colloquial clumsiness.

[rajasmasala]

@basicflesh I think it's something to do with the Turkish language, my friend does the same she-he thing. Also, he wouldn't have gotten a Nobel Prize without being a brilliant author. I'm reading My Name Is Red now, or its translation, and I can attest to this.

I do agree that his difficulty with English is unfortunate, plus he does seem nervous. Reminds me of when I'm running on coffee.

[asopaso07]

Because Orhan Pamuk is from Turkey and lives in Turkey. His vocabulary is very good actually! How many languages do you speak?

Don't concentrate on dumb things too much, its the content of what he says that is important.

[Evolutions35]

The difference is between Orhan Pamuk and the other Turkish writers.Pamuk knows Western and Eastern civizilation very well and he look at on top of these cultures and tells changing Turkish society in time.

[rbx22]

@Evolutions35 so did aziz nesin , ugur muncu etc all pamuk doin is writing fantasy romans and getting rewards wheres his politician views ?? why doesnt he write about the corrpution about the poor slums bout the fail politic ?? orhan pamuk is just a toy

[ModernPharaoh77]
