The year is 1992. Ka, a poet and political exile, returns to Turkey to write about troubling events in the small city of Kars near the Armenian border.The snow is falling fast as Ka arrives, and soon all roads are closed. He discovers a city plagued by the 'suicide epidemic' amongst young women, and where Islamists are poised to win the municipal elections. But the rogue coup that unfolds before his eyes over the next three days tells him more than he wants to know. He sees a city consumed by religious and political conspiracies, and haunted by the silences of its own history. Snow angered Islamists and westernised Turks alike when it came out in early 2002 - and promptly sold more than 100,000 copies. It is a spectacular tour de force.
