Every day for over a decade, Orhan Pamuk has written and drawn in his notebooks. Translated into English for the first time, these entries include daily events and reflections; dialogues with his fictional characters; notes on his works-in-progress; his experience of writer's block and the unfolding of his difficulties with the current Turkish government. Each page is illustrated in the author's uniquely idiosyncratic and charming style, and offers a remarkable insight into the life and creative process of one of literature's most distinguished imaginations.
