  • Wasted opportunity to explain Turkey

    Imagine being Kemal (30) in the 1970s, an industrialist about to be engaged to Sibel, a delightful young lady with a Ph.D. from the Sorbonne. In total breach of custom, you ravish her after hours in your office, but you do so in mutual faith in eventual marriage. But before your engagement party, you seduce Füsun, a poor, beautiful 18-year old shop girl, also your remote cousin, and ravish her almost daily in a dusty apartment owned by your mother. Upon which you become ever more suspicious and jealous about what Füsun might be doing in your absence, before your engagement party is fully organized...
    Poor Füsun is discarded and marries a poor man. Kemal pines for her ever since and writes this museum of innocence in her (or his) honour.

    Turkey did not cheer when OP won the Noble Prize for Literature in 2006. This book will not bring him many new fans.

    OP wrote it at 60+, an age when lots of early memories emerge and return, even to professional writers. They inspired him to create Kemal and his imaginary museum full of memories of objects, old brand names, songs, movies, media and sports events, literally anything to celebrate Istanbul during the1970s, which reminds him of Füsun. All this is described in great detail in 83 short chapters and > 700 pages.
    The tons of personal details and anecdotes make this novel an outdated guidebook to Istanbul. This reader would prefer the title to be” Museum of Sacrifice”, because who suffers? Surely Füsun, not Kemal, who combines the worst vices of the East with the best virtues of the West.
    This fat novel was not a feast for this reader. He finds Kemal a manipulative and sentimental hypocrite, deeply in love with himself.
