So the big news in the Houston literary scene is the reading of Orhan Pamuk on Monday as part of the 2009-2010 Inprint series. Three years ago he became the first Turkish citizen to win a Nobel Prize for his work, most of which focuses on Istanbul and his native land. Pamuk will be reading experts of his latest book, The Museum of Innocence, about Pamuk's relationship with a distant cousin who comes from a poorer class than he does.

Afterwards, author and UH Creative Writing Program faculty member Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni on stage, and Inprint is accepting questions from Houstonians to be used during the interview. You can submit your questions here.
