"Reading Kilito has always been, for me, an adventure. Kilito dares the reader to travel with him, riding over the frontiers between fiction and reality, between literary criticism and storytelling.

More About The Clash of Images
A lovely, lovely little book. "Pleiades" might be the best thing I've read so far this year.It did, of course, induce a feeling of great stupidity in me, in that there are so many references to Arab culture and literature that I did not immediately understand. Thank God for Wikipedia and the Internet and all that. It's an ok book. I just wasn't grabbed and moved by it. I could've finished it given how short it is, but I preferred to move on to something more suited to my tastes and moods. Some of the stories are a little more obtuse to me, but the best ones (A Glass of Milk) reach the same heights as some of Pamuk's best stories, in concept and in [clearer] prose.
