'whose words are suppressed'

"a novelist’s politics rises from his imagination, from his ability to imagine himself as someone else. This power makes him not just a person who explores the human realities that have never been voiced before – it makes him the spokesman for those who cannot speak for themselves, whose anger is never heard, and whose words are suppressed."

"Most of what I knew about Kars I'd read in Orhan Pamuk's novel Snow. Pamuk's Kars is a desolate, unfriendly city thick with intrigue and foreboding. The novel takes place during an especially harsh winter (the Turkish translation of 'snow' is 'kar'). Here it was summer, but first impressions didn't work to dispel Pamuk's image of the place."
