nabokov

In June 1953 Nabokov and his family went to Ashland, Oregon.

Meanwhile Nabokov viewed homosexuality akin to any other sexual aberration.

Borges, Sartre, Nabokov were widely translated and read.

[edit: Apparently not, I wasn't aware Nabokov wrote English as well as Russian.

I mean, I guess it's cool to know that there are some mental tests which some people are slightly worse at when walking, and the Nabokov quote at the beginning was quite interesting even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the article, but I'm just left...

Nabokov wrote a wonderful novel, "The Defense", about a chess player who goes mad.

Like Nabokov, this is partially due to his academic influence, but his writing was hugely influential as well.

Not sure what to think about it yet, but it's interesting reading Nabokov's analysis and seeing into his mindset a little.

Nabokov, a Joyce admirer, called Wake, "that petrified superpun."

In fairness, much of Nabokov's work was originally in English, like Conrad.
