At the same time that he guides us through these explorations, however, he cautions us to reject simplistic stereotypes and even interrogates his own perspective as a Westernized author (who, in a very postmodern twist, appears himself in the story as a third-person narrator) that retells the stories of Ka's life in Kars.

As such, Ka's story gives Pamuk the chance to explore themes as disparate as the cultural, religious, and political divide between the East and West (broadly construed) feminism the link between artistic imagination and harsh reality and the complex, nuanced nature of Turkish identity. Ka is ostensibly in town to write about the suicide of many young girls who were banned from wearing their religious headscarves in secular, government-run schools, but he is really there to rediscover shattered fragments of his own youth and reconnect with a woman he loves, Ipek. The novel-which follows a Turkish poet named Ka as he returns from exile in Germany and travels to the rural town of Kars-is at once satirical, detached, and empathetic with the characters whose lives it depicts.
