*Famous novelist Orhan Pamuk likes to draw and paint as a hobby, so it's touching that he's not very good
*He's about as good as a painter who likes to write fiction on weekends

Goodnight.
"I am absence.
The heavenly and the expelled."
Mahmoud Darwish, excerpted from Mural, If I were Another (trans. Fady Joudah)
'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'
Mahmoud Darwish

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.

Under the Yoke, by Ivan Vazov
fromtheheartofeurope.eu/under-the-yo...
A classic of nineteenth-century Bulgarian literature, a mercifully short novel about the 1876 uprising against Turkish rule.
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.
Good morning. From The Commonplace Book:
“No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written. He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.” – T. S. Eliot, “The Art of Poetry,” 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸

Thoughts and sketches from Orhan Pamuk
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.

‘There is a great deal of desperation in this constant urge to write—‘
Every day for over a decade, Orhan Pamuk has written and drawn in his notebooks. Memories of Distant Mountains, his illustrated notebooks, is out today.
