The Sultan has commissioned a cadre of the most acclaimed artists in the land to create a great book celebrating the glories of his realm. Their task: to illuminate the work in the European style. But because figurative art can be deemed an affront to Islam, this commission is a dangerous proposition indeed. The ruling elite therefore mustn't know the full scope or nature of the project, and panic erupts when one of the chosen miniaturists disappears. The only clue to the mystery - or crime? - lies in the half-finished illuminations themselves. Part fantasy and part philosophical puzzle,
My Name is Red is a kaleidoscopic journey to the intersection of art, religion, love, sex, and power.
Translated from the Turkish by Erdag Goknar.

I loved the way different perspectives were used in this very cerebral homage to history and artistry rolled in there was a “who done it” that for me was anticlimactic by the time it was answered. Not without it’s merits I wouldn’t be quick to recommend or reread this. The narrator’s voice was lovely.
Interesting and Exhausting in it’s attention to detail
