The Nobel Prize Committee Bestowed Highest Honor on Turkish Novelist: Books to Read

The Nobel Prize Committee Bestowed Highest Honor on Turkish Novelist

For some writers, the winning of the Nobel Prize by Orhan Pamuk is the recognition of the rich Turkish literary tradition. For the nationalists, his winning is seen a disgrace because Pamuk dared to criticize and talk about the Armenian genocide and the mistreatment of the Kurds. Keep in mind that Turkey is a predominantly muslim country. Giving an interview on NPR, Pamuk refused to talk about some points of controversy. He did not want to mention his statements to a Swiss newspaper about Turkey's dark days. He alleged that Turkey lived tow painful episodes in its history: The massacre of Armenians during World War I and the guerrilla fighting in the Kurdish southeastern region . Pamuk is willing to tell the truth no matter what the price to his person. He accepted the Nobel Prize on behalf of Istanbul, his favorite city. He dedicated it to the city whose stories he has been telling in books such as "Snow," "My Name is Red," "Darkness and Light," "The White Castle," and "The Black Book."

Many observers and fans in the large Armenian community dispersed all over the world and specially in the United States and France agree with the choice. They think that Pamuk is a serious novelist who accepts what the Turkish forefathers have done to the Armenian people. What are his books about? Darkness and Light is a multigenerational story about a wealthy Turkish family in Istanbul. "My Name is Red" is a story of forbidden art and palace politics. In another development, France passed a bill that will punish anybody who contests that the killings of Armenians did not constitute a genocide with 1 year of prison and fines of up to $56,000. France recognized that up to 1.5 million Armenians died at the hands of Turks from 1915 to 1919 during World War I. During that time, Armenia was under the Ottoman empire. Turkey said these Armenians were killed during civil unrest and that it was not a calculated act on the part of the government. Now, contesting the cause of Armenian killings will become a crime for many French.

Carly Fiona's New Book, "Tough Choices" Timely Release

Folks, Carly Fiona is back in the news with the release of her new book, Tough Choices. After the HP board fired her a few years ago, many people thought that was the last they would hear of the super business woman. In her new book, Carly points out whom she thinks was behind her firing at HP. Tom Perkins along with his other friend was the major instrument in her losing the jog. In a 60 Minutes interview, Carly was not mincing words. The interview with Carly came after Dunn's interview. Dunn is the most recent HP director to have faced trouble at the legendary company. She now said that Tom Perkins was also instrumental in her trouble by leaking board's decision and inner workings and going to the authorities. At the same time, Dunn revealed that she is going to start cancer treatment.

Carly is back. This book is the right platform she needed for her comeback. "The real reason the timing is fortuitous is that the book provides Fiorina a platform to reinvent herself for whatever comes next." She wants to re-engineer her career. "In her memoir emerging this week, "Tough Choices," Fiorina will contend that she was unfairly scrutinized as a woman in business and unproductively opposed by people who feared the big changes she had to make at HP....

"It's a book about what's required of change agents," she told a women-in-business conference recently at Babson College outside Boston. "The agents of change are always resisted. ... Some people fear the unknown, whatever it may be, even more than they fear the troublesome but known present."

Fiona had something to say about perception. "It is still true that women are caricatured and characterized differently from men," she said. "A woman lays people off, she's heartless," Fiorina said. "A man lays people off, he's decisive."

Bob Woodward's New Book, "State of Denial" Makes Headlines, Is Released Today

Besides his two previous books on the current administration, this new book is set to become a bestseller. Even before it is published, many politicians and people were making reservations on their copies. Woodward's account says high-level aides, first lady and others saw Rumsfeld as a liability. Woodward, appearing on 60 Minutes, Dateline, Today Show and other cable networks, did not hesitate to push his book. In his first two books, he was alledged to be writing well about the administration. In this book, he took a different turn. Woodward is saying that the president is getting isolated as his team has rejected advice to shift gears in Iraq before it is too late. The White House that requested advance copies of the book dismissed his reporting as "old news." The new book reports what White HOuse chief of Staff Andrew Card did. He suggested that Bush fire Rumsfeld and replace him with former Secretary of State, James Baker, after the November 2004 election and again around Thanksgiving 2005. No wonder Andrew Card did not last that long on the job. Rumsfeld stayed on the job. Andrew left. The book also gave details about how Rumsfeld appeared to have alienated key members and figures.
