Snow
By Orhan Pamuk, translated from Turkish by Maureen Freely
Published in 2004
“The silence of snow, thought the man sitting just behind the bus driver. If this were the beginning of a poem, he would have called the thing he felt inside him the silence of snow.
“He’d boarded the bus from Erzurum to Kars with only seconds to spare.”
