What is the message of this novel?

Snow is clearly a multifaceted metaphor and Pamuk's message, I think, is like that of a poet. Each reader reads through their own lense, and therefore perceives the book uniquely. For me, a westerner ignorant of the places and events even remotely like those in this novel, I was confused throughout the story. I still don't know who was for or against whom. I can't even describe what the fighting was about. Since I am often similarly confused when I read poetry, I am left with the impression that this is the author's intention.(less)
