The Cartoons that Shook the World , by Jytte Klausen (Yale, £20) In what deserves to become the definitive account of the Danish cartoon controversy of 2005-6, none of the major actors comes out looking too good. Certainly not the editor of the newspaper Jyllands-Posten, taking deliberate aim at the "sickly oversensitivity" of "mad mullahs"; nor the group of Danish imams...

Kemal, the lovelorn protagonist of Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk's new novel, is a sort of Gatsby on the Bosphorus. He is uppercrust, cringe-inducing and, of course, harbors an obsession with a woman he can never really have.

Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk manages a staggering feat of character craft in The Museum Of Innocence , so thoroughly realizing what it’s like inside his protagonist’s claustrophobic head that when the story abruptly steps out of this perspective near the end, it’s like emerging from a dank cellar into the fresh air. And while Pamuk’s command of voice is peerless, it becomes so...

Nathan Gardels interviews one of our favorites, Turkish Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk: At the age of 57, I am less experimental and more mature. I want most of all to convey my understanding of life. And writing novels for 35 years has taught me great humility. It has taught me to be respectful of how marvelously detailed the world is. Again, this is very close to a lover's attention to his beloved's...
