Orhan Pamuk visiting Duke is always an occasion. Today's topic - ekphrasis - was particularly close to my heart. And on his daily habit of writing and drawing in notebooks! To be shared in his forthcoming book, 'Memories of Distant Mountains'

'The war will end
The leaders will shake hands
The old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son
That girl will wait for her beloved husband
And those children will wait for their heroic father
I don’t know who sold our homeland
But I saw who paid the price.
The War Will End'

Turkey has lost one of its great writers, Mario Levi. At 66 years of age, he passed quite early, contributing numerous books to Turkish literature, including "Istanbul is a Fairy Tale." I wish I could say I read or knew him; I thought I'd meet him one day. May he rest in peace.

I was curious and tried identifying the clusters a bit. Note that I used the incredibly scientific and sophisticated method of clicking on a bunch of accounts in a specific area, to check out what is on there and see if I can figure out any pattern.
Expect more clusters and also misinterpretations.

On the feast of La Salute in Venice (last Thursday) I was thinking of lighting candles & appreciating this precious life. Then coincidentally Orhan Pamuk’s ‘Memories of distant mountains’ arrived. Hard back: Einaudi - a thing of beauty - quality thoughts from a Nobel Prize winner - recommended.
