- they are desperate to find water in a barren land This is the tale of their struggle but it is also a deeper investigation
- through mesmerising stories & images
- into Pamuk's prevailing themes fathers & sons the state & individual freedom reading & seeing It is also a richly literary work The Red-Haired Woman borrows from the tradition of the French conte philosophique & asks probing questions of ethics & of the role of art in our lives It is both a short realist text investigating a murder which took place thirty years ago near Istanbul
- & a fictional inquiry into the literary foundations of civilizations comparing two fundamental myths of the West & the East respectively Sophocles's Oedipus Rex (a story of patricide) & Ferdowsi's tale of Rostam & Sohrab (a story of filicide) The Red-Haired Woman is a masterful & mesmerising work which further confirms Orhan Pamuk as one of our greatest novelists
