Buch zum Feiertag

Gestern Abend habe ich das Prater-Buch ausgelesen und es hat mir sehr gut gefallen - vor allen natürlich die alten Fotos und Zeichnungen.

Heute Morgen mußte ich mich dann für ein neues Buch entscheiden, und habe dieses hier gewählt. Angelesen habe ich es auch schon, während ich die Badewanne eingelassen habe:

Vladimir NABOKOV
Strong Opinions

Product Description: Nabokov begins his Strong Opinions ‘I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.’ In the interviews collected here – covering everything from his own burgeoning literary celebrity to Kubrick’s Lolita to lepidoptery – he is never casual or off-guard. Instead he insisted on receiving questions in advance and always carefully composed his responses. Keen to dismiss those who fail to understand his work and happy to butcher those sacred cows of the literary canon he dislikes, Nabokov is much too entertaining to be infuriating, and these interviews, letters and articles are as engaging, challenging and caustic as anything he ever wrote.
