By: Orhan Pamuk   | Series: Vintage International 
From the Nobel Prize winner and acclaimed author of My Name is Red—a brilliantly unconventional mystery of a missing wife, and a provocative meditation on identity.

“A glorious flight of dark, fantastic invention.” —The Washington Post

Galip is a lawyer living in Istanbul. His wife, the detective novel–loving Ruya, has disappeared. Could she have left him for her ex-husband or Celâl, a popular newspaper columnist? But Celâl, too, seems to have vanished. As Galip investigates, he finds himself assuming the enviable Celâl's identity, wearing his clothes, answering his phone calls, even writing his columns. Galip pursues every conceivable clue, but the nature of the mystery keeps changing, and when he receives a death threat, he begins to fear the worst.

With its cascade of beguiling stories about Istanbul, The Black Book is a brilliantly unconventional mystery, and a provocative meditation on identity. For Turkish literary readers it is the cherished cult novel in which Orhan Pamuk found his original voice, but it has largely been neglected by English-language readers. Now, in Maureen Freely’s beautiful translation, they, too, may encounter all its riches.

Teaaa Baby
This shimmer gel oil is teaaaa on your body. It smells good when combined with a cologne of your choice. It’s non-greasy, moisturizes the skin good and of course gives you that glow on your body needs. You must buy this.

I was DISAPPOINTED
I was very excited to try this bc of the shimmer and glow and bc I’m a vanilla scent girly and I was disappointed bc it didn’t smell anything like vanilla However, I like the smooth body gel feel it wasn’t heavy and thick so that was a plus for me My bottle wasn’t wrapped or taped to prevent leaking bc when I removed it from the package I could tell something happened because there was no leaking in the bag it was just on the top where you squeeze it and almost 2 inches was gone from the bottle so I was disappointed bc the bottle is small anyways and for the price I want a full bottle bc normally when I order lotions or body creams they’re packaged with some extra care and this package wasn’t 😔

Love this subtle shimmer rose bronze very moisturizing &thicker
Beautiful color shimmer & sleek shine. Can be subtle or apply more to get a oil look. Smells a little bit like coconut which I don't love if Im wearing perfume. Its a beautiful bronzey pink subtle shimmer. Not glitter & reapply to be a oiled goddess. Works perfectly on my light-med skin tone. Definitely a great summer find. And it is moisturizing & a pretty sheen.

Makes my melanated skin POP!
Wow! Where has this product has been all of my life??? Up until now, I believed that dewey, glowing, buttery skin I saw on celebrities in photos and video were due to some ultra expensive product that I could not afford, but low and behold I found out that is NOT true and you can achieve that same look if you're "balling on a budget", like ME! While Vaseline, and baby oil are mainstays, sometimes you need something with a little bit more umph, sheen, and sparkle and THIS Vaseline oil does the trick and then some! One mistake I made when I first started wearing it: I didn't spend enough time rubbing it into my skin. If you don't take the time to really rub it in and allow your skin to soak it in, you will have some dry spots (i.e., areas of skin you thought you moisturized but actually missed). I now understand why makeup artists and stylists are always seen rubbing their clients legs and arms, and between pictures and takes- it's because they're making sure they get the product into the skin! That said, this is not something that you can just slap on and go. You have to really take your time and be intentional about the application. If you have a partner, roommate, spouse, or whatever, ask them to help rub it into your back. I also love putting this on after I get out of the shower and I want to wear something sexy to bed-It is a major confidence booster when you are wearing lingerie. I absolutely LOVE this product and it is the best thing I ever bought for my skin. I bought both golden hour glow and sunlit glow. The sun lit is good for a lightly glazed look but the golden hour glow is a lot more sparkly and has this gold, copper, Sheen to it - basically, it's heavier or more pigmented, but still very lightweight. It does not stain in my clothes, it is very soft and it gives my skin this glazed, sun kissed, glow that is absolutely out of this world! The oil quality is great because it's not too thick and it's not too thin and it doesn't need to be reapplied. There is virtually no scent, so it pairs well with perfume or body spray. I have a very sensitive nose, so I was a little bit concerned about a strong fragrance but it does not have that at all. It is so versatile: you can use it on feet, legs, back, chest, forearms--and a little goes a long way. This is absolutely amazing. It is much better than the previous Vaseline bronze oil that I wore that was a lot more watery and came in a pump- it just didn't do it for me. This line is more moisturizing - this glazed and glisten gel is the best thing ever! Run, do not walk, to buy this product--You won't be disappointed. It is great value for the money. 10 stars!!!!

Really loving this!
This gives such a pretty sun-kissed glow without looking orange or over-the-top glittery. I’ve been using it on my arms and legs and it makes my skin look healthy, hydrated, and glowy without feeling greasy. It’s lightweight, easy to apply, and lasts longer than I expected. Smells good too. Definitely feels like a great value for the money. Perfect for summer, vacations, or when you just want a little extra glow without self tanner.
