The culmination of decades of omnivorous collecting, Orhan Pamuk s Museum of Innocence in Istanbul uses his novel of lost love, The Museum of Innocence, as a departure point to explore the city of his youth. In The Innocence of Objects, Pamuk s catalog of this remarkable museum, he writes about things that matter deeply to him: the psychology of the collector, the proper role of the museum, the photography of old Istanbul (illustrated with Pamuk s superb collection of haunting photographs and movie stills), and of course the customs and traditions of his beloved city. The book s imagery is equally evocative, ranging from the ephemera of everyday life to the superb photographs of Turkish photographer Ara G ler. Combining compelling art and writing, The Innocence of Objects is an original work of art and literature.

Praise for The Innocence of Objects:

"[A] most audacious and provocative take on the history of Turkish culture and politics by Turkey's best-known dissenter." Publishers Weekly

Orhan Pamuk s The Innocence of Objects makes me want to stand up and shout! It 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. TheHuffington Post

I bought the Turkish edition of The Innocence of Objects, a richly illustrated book about the museum, and have been waiting for Abrams English translation. It s just come out, and Pamuk s text about the project is as illuminating as it promised to be. The Design Observer
Pamuk s tour de force and mind-benderabout museums, art, artifice, and the place of fiction and the writer in theworld is a nonfiction narrative unlike most you will encounter.
[A] squarish volume, filled with gorgeous photographs of the museum s interior. . . . The exhibition photos are accompanied by Pamuk s lively, sometimes dazzling commentary, which ranges freely from personal anecdotes to meditations on aesthetics to whimsical memories of his fictional protagonist. . . . The American Reader
