museum of innocence day, 2009

"It was the happiest moment of my life, but I didn't know it."






Today marks the release of Orhan Pamuk's latest English translation, The Museum of Innocence. Touted by some as his greatest achievement, this novel is a tale of lifelong, obsessive love.

Having spoken with the estimable bookkeepers on Pirate's Alley, I can say with full confidence that it's a work of literary art. So get yourself to the bookstore, roast some chickpeas, and curl up with this latest gem.

I'm so excited.
