Book Summary
After twelve years in political exile in Germany, a poet Ka returns to Istanbul
for his mother's funeral, and takes a commission to report on the municipal
elections in Kars near the Russian border. There he discovers a dangerous
atmosphere, with tensions running high between the political Islamists and the
'enlightened, pro-Western' Turkish military. The second half of the novel takes
place over a three-day period. Following the set-piece military coup, Pamuk
brilliantly explores such themes as politics, love, ethics, religion and poetry,
as we gradually discover the real truth concerning the poet and the snow covered
old-world city of Kars.
