11/13, 20: turkish author orhan PaMuk (noBel Prize for literature,
’06) at Bard college, annandale-onhudson- Internationally
acclaimed Turkish author Orhan Pamuk, presently a visiting writer
in residence at Bard, gives a public lecture at the Olin Center,
“In Kars and Frankfurt,” on 11/13, and an open class
on 11/20. To quote fellow writer-in-residence, and creator of the
“Contemporary Masters” series Norman Manea, “Orhan
Pamuk doesn’t only reveal challenging and complex issues of
both (Arab and Western) environments, but illuminates with elegance,
acuity, and profundity some of the essential and disturbing aspects
of our modern, global world and the old new themes of human destiny:
love and faith, beauty and crime ideals and betrayal, solitude and
solidarity. He never lets the political-social drive of his work
take over the aesthetic, literary originality of the writing. It’s
therefore an excellent opportunity for our students and for the
entire community to encounter and converse with a writer of such
stature.” All seating free and on a first-come first-serve
basis. www.bard.edu,
