![]() ![]() ![]() I wished that the theme had been more fully developed in the rest of the book. I was interested, though, in the idea of inspirational mysticism that was introduced early in the book and comes up again near the end. Neither of those things were surprises to me. Pamuk seemed to want to show the appeal that overt religious expressions can hold for young people and that teenage girls (and others) may see traditions like the wearing of headscarves as acts of defiance rather than submission. For one thing, I didn't really gain many new insights about people from reading Snow. I remember having two problems with the novel, but on reflection, I would say that they were both my problems rather than Pamuk's. (I gave my only copy to my dad, so I am not rereading it now). I read Snow several years ago but only appreciated it to a certain extent. ![]()
