''My Name is Red'' is a fine example of a {{p|ostModernism}}ostmodern novel. No two subsequent chapters are told from the same viewpoint, though there are recurring narrators such as Black and his love, Shekure. The first chapter is even narrated by Elegant Effendi's corpse at the bottom of a well. Other chapters are related by inanimate objects, like a drawing of a tree or a gold coin. ''My Name is Red'' won the Dublin Literary Award for its author, Orhan Pamuk. Though not the easiest novel, the persistent reader will be rewarded with a fascinating and sometimes disturbing glimpse into Ottoman culture, values, and society.

However, he continues functioning intelligently and logically, and it is only clear that he has truly snapped when we find out what he did with Enishte Effendi's missing painting: [[spoiler: he attempted to make a portrait of ''himself'' in the place intended for the Sultan in the middle of the picture (which within their cultural context, isn't merely arrogant and stupid; it's blasphemous in at least two separate ways and constitutes ''treason'').]]
