Critical Praise

"From the Golden Horn, with a wicked grin, the political novel makes a triumphant return."

——Harper's

"Powerful . . . Astonishingly timely . . . A deft melding of political intrigue and philosophy, romance and noir . . . [Snow] is forever confounding our expectations."

——Vogue

"Part political thriller, part farce, Snow is [Pamuk's] most dazzling fiction yet. One of the top books of the year."

——Village Voice

"A great and almost irresistibly beguiling . . . novelist. . . . [Snow is] enriched by . . . mesmerizing mixes: cruelty and farce, poetry and violence, and a voice whose timbres range from a storyteller's playfulness to the dark torment of an explorer, lost."

——The New York Times
