Today is Nabokov’s birthday.
A serious butterfly specialist and a brilliant #literature professor in the US, famous for his lectures.
Speaking of Lolita: he did not write a #romance. He wrote a chilling masterclass in manipulation and self-justification.
Predators like #Epstein crave beautiful alibis. #Nabokov offers none. He gives us a liar so eloquent that the #readers has to struggle not to be deceived.

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.

This is incredible, and crazy, and awe inspiring. Kathryn Haydon recites the whole poem from Nabokov's novel Pale Fire from memory.

Finished reading Nabokov's novel Pale Fire yesterday.
Reviewing a novel of this depth in a few short toots is pretty ridiculous, so I won't even try doing this. I'm not a literary critic or very knowledgeable about literary analysis, just a reader, so I'll just write some general impressions here.
Spoilers to Pale Fire ahead.

I was so lucky to get to go this summer to Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company, the iconic Paris bookstore. that opened in 1919 The line, to my delight, was incredibly long and everyone was happily waiting to check out the gems inside. Especially impressive to me were the collection of #Beat writers, Paul #Auster and Vladimir #Nabokov novels. I stayed for hours and bought a copy of James #Baldwin's Giovanni's Room.

Ya terminó este #taller de #novela en El Péndulo Polanco y quedo muy contento. Para cerrar, conversamos de #vocabularios y de alientos, de cuándo terminar (o abandonar) un proyecto, de cómo se desarolla un #estilo propio (ChatGPT no le atina aún al mío). 🤪
Salieron #ElenaGarro, #Firbank y #Nabokov, #GarcíaMárquez y #Rulfo.
Gracias al grupo y mucho éxito en sus #historias por venir. 📚

•••Nice bit of #synchronicity, Balticomore in Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle by Vladimir #Nabokov.
•••Ft. Carroll won’t be an involuntary park much longer.
•••I’m an expert in all things Baltimore now. -
@deirdrespencer. #Nabokov knows ALL the words! In English, French, and Russian!

My son gave me a book of (very) short stories by Nabokov for my birthday, and in the first tale, “The Wood-Sprite,” I came across a wonderful word that was new to me: tintinnabulation, meaning a ringing or tinkling sound.
It rather delighted me, so I thought I’d share it with you.

⚮⚮⚮My everyday life would be a lot more pleasant if it were not bookended by brohams.
⚮⚮⚮Planted a garnet yam.

I was aiming to regularize my reading and #Nabokov sucks me in. What the Hell was the L-disaster‽ Where’s the damage? Does Antiterra have different physics? Of course, “Noel” means the trains aren’t running whatever Nabokov says... Not sure what to make of this...

Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the publication of the first title in our new sub-series, Critical #Climate Chaos: The Nethercene, edited by Tom Cohen and Claire Colebrook.
Sigi Jöttkandt's The #Nabokov Effect: Reading in the Endgame:
In this book, Nabokov emerges as the writer for #humanity’s endgame, architect of a post- interpretive complex that opens up broader questions concerning our ability to #read him or, indeed any #writer today.
Like all Open Humanities Press books, The Nabokov Effect is available #OpenAccess:

@BuffaloResearch. Love the #NYPL. So grateful to have read their #Nabokov materials for a piece I wrote on Ada, or Ardor, the word or, #Poe, and the "O" and the "R" in the word Nevermore (See #TheRaven, of course, and #ThePhilosophyOfComposition).

Iniciei na @Almanaque uma série de "Leituras Ilustradas", em q me proponho #ilustrar a ideia q mais retenho da #leitura de #livros. Para começar em beleza, fui buscar a epifania q me ocorreu ao pegar na obra de #Nabokov, q em muito (e no essencial) difere das versões cinematográficas q inundaram o nosso imaginário (mesmo - e principalmente - daqueles que nunca leram o livro): #Lolita.
