The 2010 Norman Mailer Lifetime Achievement Prize will be awarded to Orhan Pamuk, the great Turkish writer and winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. Pamuk is an author whom Mailer greatly admired, someone who has opened a window so all can better understand the culture and society from which he hails. His works have inspired literary students the world over to visit Turkey. Orhan Pamuk will be in attendance at the Gala to accept his prize and give an acceptance speech.
