Faber and Faber The New Life
In his native Turkey, author Orhan Pamuk's novel <I>The New Life</I> is a huge hit. Now English-language readers have an opportunity to sample this unusual book for themselves. <I>The New Life</I> begins with the declaration that I read a book one day and my whole life was changed. That book leads the narrator, a young man named Osman, on a wild journey in the company of Janan, a mysterious young woman in search of her lover, Mehmet. He had actually managed to enter--and escape--the world of the book. In the course of their travels, Osman and Janan are involved in a bloody bus wreck from which they emerge with new identities; they meet several false Mehmets; Janan mysteriously vanishes; and Osman eventually encounters a family friend who may or may not be the author of the life-changing book and possibly of <I>The New Life</I> itself. <p> In case you hadn't already guessed, <I>The New Life</I> is strictly postmodernist fare, where plot and character are minimal and time and space tend to bend and warp in unexpected ways. The author's vision is certainly original, and his descriptions of violence and Turkish culture are particularly strong.
