In its justification for the award, the Swedish Academy stated that, while searching for the melancholic soul of his native city, Pamuk had discovered new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures. The works of the author, known for novels such as The Black Book, My Name Is Red, and Snow, have been translated into numerous languages. The award was regarded as an important turning point for the international recognition of Turkish literature.
