The Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his
life and the Ottoman Empire, to be illuminated by the best artists
of the day - in the European manner. In Istanbul at a time of
violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition.
Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for
whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is
murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead
painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or
religious terror? With the Sultan demanding an answer within three
days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures
. . . From Turkey's winner of the Nobel Prize and author of
Istanbul and The Museum of Innocence, this novel is a thrilling
murder mystery set amid the splendour of Istanbul and the Ottoman
Empire. Part fantasy and part philosophical puzzle, My Name is Red
is also a stunning meditation on love, artistic devotion and the
tensions between East and West.
