READIN

Jeremy's journal

A memorandum-book does not, provided it is neatly written, appear confused to an illiterate person, or to the owner who understands it thoroughly, but to any other person able to read it appears to be inextricably confused.

🦋 Orhan and Rüya

I want to write about how I'm finding the essays in Other Colors about Pamuk's relationship with his daughter. Not sure what to say though, beyond that I'm loving them. They don't offer the special insight into character that I've thought is the best thing about his novels -- in such short pieces the characters are necessarily ciphers, indeed he plays that up a bit, especially in "When Rüya is Sad". I just love the quick beauty of these pieces, and the mood they convey -- little impressionistic gems.

And thank you for visiting, rüya -- if I understand correctly you are spamming from a Turkish dream interpretation business whose site is actually here http://www.ruyatabirleri.gen.tr/? That seems interesting enough to stay in the blog...
