A review by bellatrix
Музей невинности by Orhan Pamuk, Орхан Памук
4.0
More like a 3.8/5
Took me a while to finish this book.
Loved Pamuk's writing but at one point, the book became to repetitive. Though this was a wonderfully vivid portrait of Istanbul, as a love story, it failed to impress me.
It's a story about a man and his young cousin. Their relationship is problematic, but never because they are related.
He's obsessed with her. He collects over 4000 cigarette stubs that have 'touched her lips' alongside other knick-knacks, even panties ! and makes a 'museum' of his obsession and kleptomania.
He's in love. Except his love follows a VERY brief affair while he's engaged.
I never wanna call someone's feelings unfounded, but I feel his were.
