I finished Nabokov's "Pnin" last night.
What a delight it was! Funny, clever, and oddly moving.
I would recommend getting hold of the Everyman's Library edition, as the introduction by David Lodge is both informative and perceptive.

My favorite author has now died. I recommend all his novels, which are mostly comedies that treat their characters well.
If you want to start, read his Campus Trilogy:
Changing Places
Small World
Nice Work -

RIP David Lodge, beloved #author. I first came across Small World in its television adaptation before reading the book. It's still on my bookshelf today. A slightly romanticised view of academia. Or as this obituary puts it:
It was his campus novels that captured my heart. His trilogy Changing Places (1975), Small World (1984) and Nice Work (1988) are now tributes to the buoyant, optimistic world of well-respected and funded postwar academia.

Ha ben... j'ai lu presque tous ses romans :
- je n'ai pas lu les deux premiers qui n'ont pas été traduits en français
- je n'ai pas lu la pièce de théâtre romaniséeEt j'ai lu aussi sa seconde biographie romanesque.
Bref, je ne pensais pas en avoir lu autant de #davidlodgehttps://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lodge
Et étrangement, j'associe #DavidLoge à #AlisonLurie que j'ai découvert exactement à la même époque par la même personne, les deux étaient chez le même éditeur français, sans compter que leurs romans se passent dans le milieu universitaire / aisé, donc forcément, il y a des similitudes et accointances.

David Lodge, the British novelist who was best known for his satirical books, has died at age 89. He was nominated for the Booker Prize for his campus novels "Small World" and "Nice Work," and was described by the Times of London as "probably the most distinguished novelist of his generation not to win [the Booker]." Here's @BBCNews's tribute to him.

Le gant de Siegfried von Turpitz
L’Oreille tendue a des défauts. Parmi ceux-ci, il y a le fait d’attendre à la dernière minute pour organiser ses déplacements à l’étranger. Ainsi, en 1991, son incompétence viatique a fait s’allonger indûment un voyage à Wolfenbüttel. C’était il y a longtemps, mais l’Oreille a le souvenir de deux longs voyages en avion, suivis d’un trajet en train, couronnés par une excursion en autobus.

Furthermore, I toot the following articles or reviews from The Guardian:
— About the Campus Trilogy: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/nov/27/david-lodge-campus-trilogy-review
— About “Ginger, You're Barmy”: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/may/29/ginger-youre-barmy-review
— About “Small Word, by David Lodge [himself]”: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jan/20/david-lodge-small-world-book-club -
"RIP", as one says, David Lodge. Books remain, not only the exquisite “Small World”.

I just learned that David Lodge has passed on January 1st.
His book "the Art of Fiction" was my introduction to literary studies in college. Since that time, I always followed him from the distance, and I always happily read his texts when I could.
RIP
