Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk wins Denmark's Sonning Prize

AFP 15 May 2012

COPENHAGEN — Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk on Monday won the 2012 Sonning Prize, Denmark's highest cultural award that honours contributions to European culture. Orhan Pamuk, 59, was the first Turkish writer to receive the Nobel Literature Prize, in 2006, for his body of work that discusses the clash of Muslim and Western culture in Turkey.

"Orhan Pamuk's largest contribution to European culture is his obvious challenge of the cultural boundaries and his clarification of the many possibilities that lie within crossing those boundaries," the jury at the University of Copenhagen said in a statement.

"His work contains a strong belief in a Europe with fewer cultural boundaries, an inclusive Europe that does not choose between East and West but instead attempts to unite the two," it said.

The author of "Snow" and "The Black Book" and other novels is a controversial figure in his home country.

Yes!! And he received The Nobel Prize in Literature 2006.

Literature, man!!

Huhu~semester 1 is the last semester for literature subject. There will be no more literature in next 7 semesters. Even though this is the paper which I had to repeat few months back, I cannot say that I hate this subject. Oh, no..cannot, cannot!! This is the subject where I can argue with my own perspectives. With different specs. Hoyeah... Best3!!

To form a haiku is already a burden for me, what more a novel. Plus, an English novel??? Adeh~

-.-"

(Hmm..Maybe I should challenge myself heh?)

Ok, chad! That's all.
Nak pinjam? Hehe~
