Selling a gently used copy of The Naive and the Sentimental Novelist by Orhan Pamuk, Nobel Prize-winning author!
Unlock the inner workings of great novels with this deeply insightful and thought-provoking book by Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk.
In The Naive and the Sentimental Novelist, Pamuk takes readers into the mind of the novelist — exploring how stories are structured, how characters are brought to life, and how emotional depth is achieved. He draws from his own experiences as a writer, as well as from literary giants like Tolstoy, Proust, and Dostoevsky, to reveal the dual mindsets of writers:
The “naive” writer, who tells stories instinctively, guided by emotion
The “sentimental” writer, who is self-aware, analytical, and conscious of form
This book is both a love letter to the novel and a roadmap for aspiring authors, perfect for creative writers, students of literature, or anyone fascinated by the art of storytelling.
