Turkey

My Name is Red

by Orhan Pamuk

Summary

A miniaturist is murdered in Istanbul in 1591, and his killer lurks among the illustrators working on a secret manuscript for the Sultan. Pamuk uses multiple narrators — including a dog, a tree, and a coin — to explore art, identity, and East-West tension.
