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.
