Pamuk has guts!

I really respect Orhan Pamuk as a writer, I have read his book 'My Name is Red' in translation, Frankly yes, a very large portion of respect goes to a good translator, but still, it's really a cleverly written and moveing novel, and you feel like you are right in the middle of daily life in the 1500s Otooman Empire. He made some enemies and took risks saying what he said. He has balls of brass as my late mom would have said.
