    Alla pagina 39 della mia silloge poetica



    Ti rivedo
    disteso
    dopo l’amore
    nel tuo letto
    sereno
    sorridente
    beato.

    Ti baciavo
    il volto
    con gli occhi
    con il cuore.

    Ti rivedo…
    fa così male.

    Era
    la vigilia di Natale.

    Thanks for the add ! Actually I'm working in Paris with Penina and Thomas. The summer is strange here and we're building the Oliver Pool page. The first 2 tracks are ready ("It Doesn't Work" / "Arrival") and Penina's blog try to make sense.
    Let's come and visit us !

    The Fate of Nabokov's LauraA Slate critic helps save Nabokov's last novel from destruction.
    By Ron Rosenbaum
    Posted Friday, April 25, 2008, at 5:12 PM ET

    Dmitri Nabokov, son of the Russian novelist Vladimir, has kept the literary world on tenterhooks for years over whether he'd obey his father's dying wish by burning the incomplete manuscript of his final novel, The Original of Laura, or appease scholars and fans alike by publishing it. In January Slate's Ron Rosenbaum urged Dmitri to make a decision, to "give us Laura" or "tell us that you intend to preserve the mystery forever." This week, Dmitri officially announced that he would make Laura available to the public.

Blurbs

About me:

It is indeed a tricky name. It is often misspelt, because the eye tends to regard the 'a' of the first syllable as a misprint and the tries to restore the symmetrical sequence by by triplicating the 'o' -- filling up the row of circles, so to speak, as in a game of crosses and naughts. No-bow-cough. How ugly, how wrong. Every author whose name is fairly often mentioned in periodicals develops a bird-watcher's or caterpillar-picker's knack when scanning an article. But in my case I always get caught by the word 'nobody' when capitalized at the beginning of a sentence. As to pronunciation, Frenchmen of course say Nabokoff, with the accent on the last syllable. Englishmen say Nabokov, accent on the first, and Italians say Nabokov, accent in the middle as Russians also do. Na-bo-kov. A heavy open 'o' as in 'Knickerbocker'. My New England ear is not offended by the long elegant middle 'o' of Nabokov as delivered in American academies. The awful 'Na-bah-kov' is a despicable gutterism. Well, you can make your choice now.

This is not Nabokov, but rather a fan of his work. He's dead. I know...it stinks...
