Drama on 3

Snow

Sunday 10 April 2005 20:00-21:30 (Radio 3)

By Orhan Pamuk.

Ka, a poet and political exile, returns to Turkey to write an investigative piece about troubling events in the mysterious, snow shrouded city of Kars; a place haunted by the silences of its own history. Snow is a spectacular tour de force, evoking the spiritual fragility of the non -western world, its ambivalence about the godless West, and its fury.
