Pamuk to be charged for speaking the truth

[I'm starting to catch up on my blog reading!]

Literary Saloon reports: In a case of life imitating fiction, Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk is being charged with insulting Turkey. He told a German interviewer that "30,00 Kurds and 1 million Armenians had been killed" by the Turkish military in the past.

It sort of fits the content of Pamuk's stories. I'm looking forward to his next novel, which I would suggest could be titled "The Trial."
