From the internationally bestselling writer Orhan Pamuk, a personal selection from twenty-five years of writing, including his Nobel Prize speech and an original short story.

Reflections on his successful struggle to quit smoking, his anxiety at testifying in court, his first trip to Europe and his father's death are accompanied by Pamuk's own black and white drawings. By turns witty, moving, playful and provocative, Other Colours glows with the energy of a master at work.
