Orhan Pamuk in Athens

   Noted Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk, the 2006 Nobel Prize laureate in literature, will give a lecture at Athens Concert Hall (Megaron) on Jan. 11, within the framework of the Megaron Plus cultural programme.

    According to Pamuk, "the modern world can conquer a deeper self-awareness
through literature which serves as a mirror that reflects its contradictions, deceptions and dead ends".

    The Nobel laureate's meeting with his fans in Greece was initially scheduled to take place last March but it was cancelled for personal reasons.
