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.

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...
