Orhan Pamuk Trial

I wonder what is going to happen to Pamuk in December. I mean, we are back to the basics ... state intervention on a writer's freedom of speech. This is a blue-ribbon requisite article. Check it out.

While at it, check these links on Pamuk:

Srini hi...

thanks for the reverence, but you got the wrong man for that. I am hardly the one who needs reverence for age. It is just a question of being born earlier or later. And as for the compliments on the cosmos of interests as you called it, you will be there in just a question of time. Keep at it.

Will check your blog on Derrida. Am a huge post-structural freak as well as a PoMo fan. Am myself working on one about Habermas and his Critical Theory vis-a-vis Historical Materialism. Shall keep you posted.

Haha... am not exactly a theatrical person. My gestures are as limited and humble in reality. Am basically a bum-ble-bee who dreams and wastes time in believing ideology is still possible and materialism is to be shirked beyond basic needs. Anyway, hope you are having a good Deepavali. Will check your poem.

Hello Krishna ,
Sorry to digress here but just wanted to know if you are the same RadioJockey Krishna on 107.1 FM . I did read your profile . The music tastes seem to be kinda similar to the one on radio but cant say the same about the books :) .
