hi,
I have read as much nabokov as i have been able to lay my hands on
(novels, poems & problems incl. translations of pushkin, lermontov and
tyutchev, lectures incl. _ulysses_, letters, short stories, translations
incl. _a hero of our time_, as much of _eugene onegin_ + notes as i could
muster); i've read and enjoyed joyce's _ulysses_ (some short stories);
almost all of saul bellow; and, everything I can find by martin amis.
my dilemma: who else is worth reading? am i doomed (but nevertheless
delighted) to reread the greats from now on?
suggestions, please (no victorians).
note: i asked martin amis to recommend an author at a lecture/book-
signing, and he mentioned don delillo. try as i might, delillo's not my
cup of tea, unfortunately...
regards,
basil lawrence
