exemplo (museum of innocence)

de um capítulo perfeito.

"I am a picturesque writer. I've looked this word up in the dictionary, and I must confess that I still haven't worked out what it really means, but I still like the sound of it. I have a passion for the epic: knights on chargers; two armies standing on either side of a dark plain on a misty morning three hundred years ago, preparing for battle; luckless man downing raki and exchanging unhappy love stories in meyhanes on a winter's night; lovers disappearing into the murky depths of the city in pursuit of a dread secret - these are the immortal tales I've always longed to tell, but all God gave me was this column, which calls for another kind of story altogether. And He gave me you, dear readers. Over the years, we have learned how to live together."
Pamuk in The Black Book.

(the museum of innocence has a direct link to Alaadin's shop, one, in a way, mirroring the other. one could say that the museum is Alaadin's shop once it has been reordered by the author's stories and memories. objects are brought together and rearranged by story lines and memories).
