Orhan Pamuk buys NY apartment for 1.8 million dollars
Nobel prize winning Turkish author Orhan Pamuk has reportedly purchased a two bedroom apartment in Manhattan for 1.8 million dollars. Pamuk is known for his love of Istanbul, and has even had the very room from which he wrote many of his works in Istanbul recalled by his close writer friend Salman Rushdie, who wrote "Pamuk's study looks out at the Bosphorus.
This legendary strait of water, depending on how you look at things, either pulls the worlds of Asia and Europe apart, or brings them together. There could be no better atmosphere for a writer whose works concern these subjects." The apartment which Pamuk has purchased is the same one he had rented while teaching courses at Columbia University last year; while it doesn't have a view of the Bosphorus, it does look out onto New York's famous Hudson River.
