slowness, whiteness, coldness, ambiguous, accumulating texture
edge of (poetry | mysticism)
vulgarity blameless lying
palms friction heat

snow--orhan pamuk
repository for fragments, detritus, phrases, bits of ephemera, addendum, indexical referents, the haphazard and intuitive, the ridiculous and unnameable, that which unfolds, part by part by part

so funny, i recently began this book...
i keep it aside a few days, get back into it after a few--lots of starts and stops. george (dimmock) mentioned reading it last year, and maybe i saw it on your fbk bookshelf...?
so great you are here, garima. i love pamuk! his essay in ISTANBUL: MEMORIES OF A CITY called "Hüzün" (on a very nuanced place-based sense of melancholy) haunts me.
i'll hunt it down--"Hüzün"...
