Finnish readers are set to enjoy a trio of anticipated book releases this autumn, featuring the personal notebooks of Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk, a deep dive into the African diaspora, and a celebrated Dutch novel from the 21st century.

Pamuk's notebooks, illustrated with his own distinctive drawings, are scheduled for Finnish publication in September. For over a decade, the Turkish writer meticulously recorded his travels, reflections on his writing, and his intricate relationship with his homeland. Readers can expect a blend of humanist wisdom and visual artistry from these intimate records.

There is a bewildering peace in Orhan Pamuk's books. Even though they are ravaged by plague epidemics, suicide waves of teenage girls, murderers or autocrats.

— Helsingin SanomatThe publication describes the paradoxical nature of Orhan Pamuk's novels, setting the stage for his personal reflections in his notebooks.

The upcoming releases promise a rich literary experience, offering insights into diverse themes and global perspectives. The inclusion of Pamuk's personal reflections alongside explorations of the African diaspora and contemporary Dutch literature highlights a broad spectrum of compelling narratives for the Finnish reading public.

We expect humane wisdom – and beautiful pictures.

— Helsingin SanomatThe publication expresses anticipation for the content of Orhan Pamuk's illustrated notebooks.
