    • The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk : narcissism and honor

      The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk : narcissism and honor
      Dec 3 2025

      In this episode Neha and Shruti discuss The Museum of Innocence, by Nobel prize winner Orhan Pamuk, through themes of narcissism and honor. We discuss the idea of legacy, cultural norms and the patriarchy, and the way that the book's framing affects the way we interpret the story. Plus, we talk through the book's intriguing ending and reach new insights about what the book is trying to do, and its effect on readers.
