New Life

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 'Everyone should read Pamuk' The New Statesman 'You could become obsessed with this novel' Guardian Osman is a young engineering student when he finds a mysterious and dangerous book that promises him a new and exciting life. He abandons his studies, turns his back on home and family, falls in love and embarks on restless bus rides through a nocturnal landscape of travellers' cafes and apocalyptic bus wrecks, all in pursuit of this elusive vision. But will he, or the reader, ever understand the nature of this strange obsession?
