Hi! I’d like to join!
Hi. I failed to return back to joining the book club and hoping that 2022 will be the year I return to not just be active in this group but to reading in general. Could I join the discord channel?
Moyo pochtenie! I'm Abdul and I will be your book moderator for May.BOOK
The book of the month is Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov. Category: campus novel.
Nabokov wrote Pnin while finalizing his drafts for Lolita, which TFG discussed way back in September 2013 (F2F21).
For those who disliked Lolita and now approach Pnin with trepidation: Pnin is the lighter of the two - vastly lighter, only 5.75 hours in audiobook format, in fact - without the aesthetic torture of the contrast of form and content that Lolita presents. The titular character Pnin is supposed to be a comic figure who elicits sympathy through his troubles as a linguistically-challenged immigrant and a bumbling college professor.
Send me a message if you need a copy.
