Dear all,

Two weeks ago, Jornal do Brazil newspaper published my review of The original of Laura (please, check out the PDF file for the Brazilian Portuguese version, or this imprecise Googled English translation).
It's a review made with passion and patience; dedicated and slow.

I've been rewarded by reading (lovingly) this gentle masterpiece. Thanks to Dmitri for taking the right decision.
The hypertextual labyrinth of Laura proves the relevance (more than ever) of Nabokov's art. Online reading (Kindles, Nooks, Google Editions etc) will provide, I'm sure, even more new discoveries.

Also, as a Brazilian author, I think it's very important to thank, once again, my dear friend Brian Boyd for his magnificent lecture on Brazilian Academy of Letters, last September, approaching the works of Vladimir Nabokov and Machado de Assis, and helping us to spread the word (here and here) about Nabokov's works in Brazil.

A happy new year to you all.

Best regards,
C. S. Soares
