Synopsis: The Nobel Prize winner&’s catalog of his Istanbul museum is like &“wandering past the illuminated windows of an arcade. . . . This book spills over with pleasure&”(The New York Times). The culmination of decades of omnivorous collecting, Orhan Pamuk&’s Museum of Innocence in Istanbul uses his novel of lost love, The Museum of Innocence, as a departure point to explore the city of his youth. In The Innocence of Objects, Pamuk&’s catalog of this remarkable museum, he writes about things that matter deeply to him: the psychology of the collector, the proper role of the museum, the photography of old Istanbul (illustrated with Pamuk&’s superb collection of haunting photographs and movie stills), and of course the customs and traditions of his beloved city. The book&’s imagery is equally evocative, ranging from the ephemera of everyday life to the superb photographs of Turkish photographer Ara Güler. Combining compelling visual images and writing, The Innocence of Objects is an original work of art and literature.
