Pamuk returned to Istanbul, a city to which he is strongly attached.

This period also included a visiting fellowship at the University of Iowa. From 1985 to 1988, while his wife was a graduate student at Columbia University, Pamuk assumed the position of visiting scholar there, using the time to conduct research and write his novel The Black Book in the university's Butler Library. On 1 March 1982, Pamuk married Aylin Türegün, a historian. He describes himself as a Cultural Muslim who associates the historical and cultural identification with the religion while not believing in a personal connection to God. From ages 22 to 30, Pamuk lived with his mother, writing his first novel and attempting to find a publisher.

He left the architecture school after three years, however, to become a full-time writer, and graduated from the Institute of Journalism at the University of Istanbul in 1976. He was educated at Robert College secondary school in Istanbul and went on to study architecture at the Istanbul Technical University since it was related to his real dream career, painting. Pamuk was born in Istanbul in 1952 and grew up in a wealthy yet declining upper class family an experience he describes in passing in his novels The Black Book and Cevdet Bey and His Sons, as well as more thoroughly in his personal memoir Istanbul.
