THE MUSEUM OF INNOCENCE

      I would like to write something about this book because it is so impressive that I can’t forget any event which comes true in this book. First of all, its writer is Orhan Pamuk. We always keep calling Pamuk the Turkish Proust. Then it is asserted that we have a brilliant author on our hands like Orhan Pamuk. I think we should read this book for two reasons. While the first reason is that when we read this book , we will the pleasure of a subtle novel, the second reason is that the only access to the reality of life is good fiction. Orhan Pamuk is such a gorgeous writer that we can’t find ample word to explicate his novel. Pamuk and Proust share deep sensibilities. I draw this conclusion thanks to pervasive sense that I get from reading Pamuk’s novels.

       Anyway, as we are reading the museum of innocence, the book immerses us in Kemal’s universe. However, sometimes this book may be so boring. While I was reading some parts of it, Pamuk always narrates an unlucky lover, Kemal, and his struggles in vain. To put it another way, Pamuk comments on Kemal’s approach to Fusün for winning her back. Hence, upon closing the final page, you might get bored because of six hundred pages of emotional turmoil with a little solution and unhappy end.:(

      In addition, I want to mention golden instant in life. No one recognizes the happiest moment of their lives, while they are living it. Yet, Kemal identifies his golden instant of live when he is with Fusün in Merhamet Apartment.

     To sum up, I believe that while you are reading this book you can see that your thoughts about not only love but also marriage, friendship, sexuality, passion, relations and happiness are impressed profoundly.
