I loved Pamuk's 2004 novel Snow but was disappointed with his latest, the story of a boy apprenticed to a master well-digger and the intense bond he develops toward his master. The novel examines the Oedipus story, as well as Turkish myths about fathers and sons. As a concept the story is interesting, but as a novel, I couldn't find a reason to invest in any of the characters. An intelligent but emotionally chilly story.
