Orhan Pamuk: The Innocence of Objects
Abrams, 2012
Orhan Pamuk
“... the amazing book that I now have before me, Orhan Pamuk’s The Innocence of Objects...is a triumph of intimacy over sterility, depth over superficiality and humanity over inhumanity. It is also the most perfect intersection of art and literature that I have ever encountered.”
Jane Chafin, The Huffington Post

“The Innocence of Objects is partly a manifesto for the power of demotic objects to tell grand narratives, partly Pamuk’s love affair with the particularity of one moment in his city. As such, this book spills over with pleasure. It feels barely edited, a scrapbook of images and ideas, memories, autobiographical interjections on collecting ... Fictions and objects and place are all intricately and beautifully held ­together."
Edmund de Waal, The New York Times
