Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk (My Name is Red) reads from and discusses his new novel, Nights of Plague, a historical epic of murder and mystery that imagines a plague ravaging a fictional island of the Ottoman Empire.
“The impulse to ennoble the most humble among us is perhaps the best reason to read Pamuk’s work,” wrote Anthony Marra. “In his novels, history is both the cause and consequence of dramatic conflict, often told from the points of view of those whose stories are rarely heard.”
