Today's New York Times Magazine (1 November 2009) includes an article on the author of one of our readings, Orhan Pamuk, that also relates to his visual concerns: "The Objects of the Exercise: Which Came first--Orham Pamuk's Museum or His New Novel, 'The Museum of Innocence'?" Pamuk's key words are "Never forget the objects as you write," a fitting motto for artists as well as designers.
