Orhan Pamuk’s recent novel the Museum of Innocence on which he has been working for six years begins with these words. This colorful and fabulous novel will not only challenge the reader’s thoughts about love, but also those about marriage, sex, passion, family, friendship, and happiness. The book tells the story of Kemal, son of a wealthy Istanbulite family, and his poor and distant relative Füsun, starting in 1975 and continuing up to the present. Beyond a fascinating and unforgettable love story told with an abundance of characters and incidents revealing the human soul’s depths, the reader will also enjoy details about Turkey’s social and cultural history in the past decades as well as the beauties of the author’s native city Istanbul on the background. ~ From Orhan Pamuk (dot) net ~ 4524365 book 27 8 2008 Masumiyet Müzesi total:110|5:26|4:34|3:32|2:16|1:5| 110 387 390 14 4 1 false false Mon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 20:22:51 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 20:23:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Nov 01 15:00:41 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 15:13:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 23:38:40 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 13:34:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Oct 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 16:45:39 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 20 12:03:09 -0800 2009 Orhan Pamuk

Finished reading the book today, November 20, 2009.

The characters are not as disconnected from reality as in his previous novels. However the theme of melancholy continues. The reader also gets the feeling of being inside a dream sequence. ...more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 18:45:12 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 23:54:46 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Nov 12 17:49:03 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 20:32:49 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Nov 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 04:53:28 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 04:58:04 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 03:39:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 03:39:00 -0700 2009 Washington Post: In sum, The Museum of Innocence is a deeply human and humane story.
