Nobel Prize winning author Orhan Pamuk arrived in Beijing earlier this week and is set to make an appearance for a book signing at the Beijing Book Building in Xidan on Sunday at 3pm. After his stop in Beijing, where among other things he has been awarded an honorary membership to the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS) and today will give a talk at Peking University, the Turkish author will go on to tour the country, including a stop over in Hangzhou where he'll attend a conference alongside Chinese author Yu Hua. Chinese translations of Pamuk's novels My Name is Red and Snow have sold well on the mainland.
