As above. The author is Orhan Pamuk. His books are not banned though they are controversial. Many people applauded his recent award of the Nobel Prize for Literature but some resented it due to his statements regarding how the Turks perceive themselves.
"Istanbul; memories of a city" is well worth reading, I also recommend "Snow" ("Kar" in Turkish).
