Wow.... i cant believe that today is that last day that our class will be meeting. like i had said last time, i cant think that we have done all the discovering, and all the learning a class can about Nabokov. I'm just hoping that a lot of what we have been able to learn this year spills over into the capstone class with Sexson and some more discovering will continue to take place. i am sad that we didnt spend more time on ALL of the texts we read...i feel like even though there may have been a hundred and one discoveries (most likely more than that) there is still so much more that can be discovered about Nabokov and his complex , seemingly crazy characters. i will miss not reading Nabokov next semester, but i do know that because of this class i will be reading much more of him. and i really think that i want to do a full re reading of all the texts we read. especially Lolita. and Pale Fire, ha ha ha i guess all four!
there were a couple of really wonderful last minute presentations today. I loved Kari's reading of her screen play, great job Kari! i laughed the entire time and was completely intrigued by all that you did with PF. Jon Orsi did a pretty wonderful impersonation of Sexson today.... i had the giggles throughout the entire time he was in front of class!
I had a great experience learning about nabokov and cant wait to read 'The Orginal of Laura' most likely a christmas break reading. Thanks Sexson for a great ride in the world of Nabokov
