Ne yazık ki tüm Türk Edebiyatı Benim Adım Kırmızı'dan ibaret değil :(( Ve Orhan Pamuk, yüzlerce ünlü yazar arasından yalnızca bir tanesi. Avrupa'da son zamanlarda yalnızca onun biliniyor olması, hiç kusura bakma ama, siyasî bir durum. Meselâ Zülfü Livaneli bilinmiyor; üstelik hem müzisyen hem yazar. Hakan Günday bilinmiyor. (Edebiyata meraklı olanları kast ediyorum) Doğu ve Batı edebiyatlarıyla ilgilenen Türklerle kıyaslandığında, Türk Edebiyatı'yla ilgilenen Doğulular ve Batılılar çok bilgisiz. 

(Unfortunately the whole Turkish Literature doesn't consist of Benim Adım Kırmızı only. :(( And Orhan Pamuk is just one of the hundreds of famous authors. Sorry but it's a political situation that only he is known in Europe nowadays. For example, Zülfü Livaneli isn't known; furthermore he is both musician and writer. Hakan Günday isn't known. [I mean those who are interested in literature] In comparison with the Turks who are interested in eastern and western literatures, the East and West people who are interested in Turkish Literature are very ignorant.) [here, 'ignorant' isn't in offensive meaning]
