Review of 'My Name Is Red' on 'Import'

5 stars

My name is black. I am Red. I, Shekure. All things appear equal in the eyes of Allah.



A beautiful painting in a book. A medium transcribed, with the visions of the story from all angles portrayed through the individual perspectives of each chapter/painting. A subtle and intelligent murder mystery, a romantic tale, a classic, told through the eyes of portraits in a way that contorts the reader and makes them re-think everything they could know about art and perspective. Absolutely spectacular.
