Bilkent University Center for Turkish Literature has just published

of Orhan Pamuk, recipient of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. The

literary scholars from Turkey, the United States, Great Britain, and
India. The issue also includes a special feature, “Translating Orhan
Pamuk”--two papers written by Pamuk translators Güneli Gün and Maureen

Pamuk, JTL 7 also features a review by Robert P. Finn of Azade
