  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  12. 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. 📚

  14. 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.

  15. 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.
