sort of wrapping up

i did like the index of names at the end, an index Kemal requests so he can keep track of all the witnesses to their story. i also like the ideia of a museum inside of the museum-book and further building the index with several other elements: every time the word butterfly occurs, an entry for Bosphorus, another for the Soviet army ship, an entry for every piece of street food, an entry for every street, avenue, park or square, an entry for every shop and a list of films, actors and directors mentioned, an entry for brands, real or unreal, an entry for the word barrette, another for the quince grater, a list of dishes cooked and another for restaurante dishes and menus, a count for every raki ever drank in the course of the story and a list of different words by which Kemal refers to Füsun such as my darling, my lovely, my beauty, a list of the occurences of the word my.
