It's official, folks ! This year's Nobel Prize in Literature goes to Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk, who-according to the Commitee--"in the quest for the melancholic soul of his native city has discovered new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures".

Some of his works include Beyaz Kale (The white castle, 1985), Yeni hayat (The new life, 1994 ) and Kar ( Snow, 2002 )...
