On a visit in 2017, Orhan Pamuk donated ink cartridges and a manuscript page from the book he was writing to the Nobel Prize Museum.
Pamuk writes his books in longhand with a fountain pen. He writes slowly, one or two sentences at a time, and then thinks for several minutes about the next sentence. He uses black ink and makes corrections in other colours. This makes it easier to follow the writing process, as he has the old versions available and can easily compare them.
