The Museum of Innocence
The Museum of Innocence by Orphan Pamuk The Museum of Innocence is the latest novel written by Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk after winning Nobel Prize. The writer has been working on this novel from quite a long time. The story takes place in Istanbul in 1975 and still continues, is about compulsive passion and the great question what love actually is. The book is an extensive and comprehensive description of the infatuated love Kemal, a wealthy businessman, had for Fusun, a lower class shop girl, for over 30 years starting in 1975. Kemal loves regardless the interests or situation of Fusun. This relationship is both prolonged and ever more weird as Kemal objects Fusun and turn into satisfying his emotional obsession with his object of desire (Fusun) rather carrying on a healthy human relationship with his beloved. The book is packed with references to butterflies, a caged bird and other collectibles and collectors as Kemal carries out the fetishism of a collector. Kemal, while enchanted by Fusun, cannot treat her as a subject at the end, somewhat than an object, a human being rather than a thing. Pamuk has used YouTube to explore Turkish music and film while setting up the novel. It's an Faber and Faber publication and it costs 399
