A must-do for all bookish people when visiting Istanbul: The Museum of Innocence. Based on the novel by Orhan Pamuk, this museum visualises the story in objects: one little glass box per chapter. Together they form an hommage to this beautiful city.

What are the odds?! The #NobelPrize writer you are currently reading is in your city and you get a chance to hear him speak AND get a signature from. Have you read #OrhanPamuk? I'm currently reading #Istanbul and just got #theredhairedwoman. I'll post his signature tomorrow! So excited! 💜📚🙆🏻

Cecibmg I still have to read it @mrozzz I'm so looking forward! 6y

A Strangeness in My Mind by Orhan Pamuk contains some beautiful and evocative sentences about this state of being and how it can influence the shape of being.

Loneliness is an indescribable malady - and yet one which can, perhaps, be called a fount of wisdom. Although, occasionally, it chooses irrationality to have a drink with; it also allows itself to be examined by objectivity, albeit discreetly - so that genuineness has a chance to thrive.

My Name Is Red | Orhan Pamuk

"Colour is the touch of the eye, music to the deaf, a word out of the darkness....
I‘m so fortunate to be red! I‘m fiery. I‘m strong. I know men take notice of me and that I cannot be resisted.
I do not conceal myself: For me, delicacy manifests itself neither in weakness nor in subtlety, but through determination and will. So, I draw attention to myself. I‘m not afraid of other colours, shadows, crowds or even of loneliness."

Don't love this book as much as some of Pamuk's others but his storytelling abilities do capture my attention time and time again. And there is something surreal reading about Turkey on the verge of the beginning of the tragedies of the Second World War whilst on a beach in Zanzibar...#orhanpamuk #travelreads #zanzibar

The Museum of Innocence is the best book I can think of about #obsession . Kemal collects objects to remember his love Fusun. Orhan Pamuk conceived of it as both a novel and a museum; this is the museum catalogue, a beautiful book of creativity and idiosyncratic collecting. (Here for example, some of the 4,213 cigarette butts). I long to visit Istanbul to see it! ❤️ #JuneTunz
