Business Description
The enigma of fathers and sons is the central theme of Orhan Pamuk’s new novel The Red-Haired Woman (Published by Penguin, Pages 254, Price Rs 599). It is also about how ineluctable fate is.
Oedipus the King could not escape it. Nor do I. In a deft, modern retelling of Sophocles’s play and the legend of Rostam and Sohrab, Pamuk explores the inner workings of the rebellious western individual and the authoritarian Asian father.
Pamuk’s protagonist argues that Oedipus, who wanted so much to be good, became a killer because he was so desperate not to be one; he found out that he had killed his own father because he needed so much to know who the murderer was. Cem, Pamuk’s hero, who had wanted to be a writer but turned out to be a geologist and a building contractor, tells us that Sophocles’s whole play was built not around the evil acts themselves but around the probing of his inquiring protagonist.
