La entrevista en The Paris Review

INTERVIEWER

How do you feel about giving interviews?

ORHAN PAMUK

I sometimes feel nervous because I give stupid answers to certain pointless questions. It happens in Turkish as much as in English. I speak bad Turkish and utter stupid sentences. I have been attacked in Turkey more for my interviews than for my books. Political polemicists and columnists do not read novels there.

INTERVIEWER

You’ve generally received a positive response to your books in Europe and the United States. What is your critical reception in Turkey?

PAMUK

The good years are over now. When I was publishing my first books, the previous generation of authors was fading away, so I was welcomed because I was a new author.

Me ha decepcionado la elección he leído a Pamuk y buff... quizá a nivel de literatura turca si pero de aquí a ignorar de forma despiadada a Roth, me ha dolido. Aunque el Nobel me tiene acostumbrado al sabor agrio
