Bibliophilia

With my collection of much-loved, much-read Nabokov, and my Nabokov-inspired tattoo.

I first read Lolita when I was 16, and loved it, but I didn’t discover the rest of Nabokov’s oeuvre until I took a course of experimental fiction of the postwar USA at university. Utterly, utterly smitten.

I wrote my undergraduate dissertation about some of his novels, and so spent a year immersed in his work, and its criticism. His work, and the story of his life, constantly inspires me: to see the beauty, to find my kaleidoscopic vision, to uncover the hidden patterns, and most of all the use the incredible gift of human consciousness with compassion.

Yesterday I resolved to actually read all the rest of his novels that I haven’t yet read. After I’ve posted this, I’m going to start ordering the first few from my local library.
