Borges could have written a four-page story about the madman who builds a museum while writing a novel about building the museum, but Pamuk wrote the novel, built the museum, and then wrote a book-length catalogue about it.

Just nu läser jag The Possessed av Elif Batuman, kanske årets bästa läsupplevelse. Av tomten fick jag En naiv och sentimental prosaist av Orhan Pamuk. Och i London Review of Books kan man läsa en fin text av Batuman om Pamuk och hans bok/museum Oskuldens Museum.
