Orhan Pamuk and the Good of World Literature
Book • 2018
Orhan Pamuk and the Good of World Literature analyzes how the Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk is received and positioned within the Anglophone literary field, exploring criteria of literary value that shape global canons.
Gloria Fisk argues that Pamuk’s reception reveals uneven dynamics of translation, circulation, and cultural capital that govern the expansion of Western literary recognition.
The book combines close readings of Pamuk’s work with institutional and market analysis to show how authorial reputation is constructed transnationally.
Fisk also interrogates the ethical and political implications of world literature’s gatekeeping practices, highlighting how literary globalization can reproduce hierarchies.
Her work contributes to debates about canon formation, translation studies, and the politics of global literary circulation.
