-The Tales of Knot after Knot- three selected fairy tales about carpet
Carpet that is made out of hairs from the Emperor and the Emperor’s daughters. Although the novel was written from a first-person narrative of a carpet makers , it also carry with it the different shade of life and people around the main character and his carpet. I believe every ordinary household has a ordinary carpet that tell stories. The ‘magic carpet’ that appears in the Arabian folklore, has traveled across the boundary of time. In today context, you may find a 9th century handmade carpet from India is nicely laid on the marble floor in a grand hotel lobby in Singapore.
