«Marías es sencillamente asombroso». -Ali Smith

Javier Marías rinde homenaje en este libro a uno de los novelistas contemporáneos que más admiraba: Vladimir Nabokov. Su intención era conmemorar a un escritor con el que se sentía en deuda literaria y animar a los lectores a que lo busquen con más frecuencia.

Marías nos cuenta, por ejemplo, que un día de 1950 la mujer de Nabokov, Véra, logró detenerlo cuando se disponía a quemar los primeros capítulos de Lolita, agobiado por las dudas y las dificultades. También que le molestaba mucho que le atribuyeran influencias, fueran de Joyce, Kafka, Proust o de Dostoyevski. Y que los mayores éxtasis los experimentó a solas: cazando mariposas, creando problemas de ajedrez, traduciendo a Pushkin y escribiendo.

Una semblanza titulada «Vladimir Nabokov en éxtasis», la traducción de dieciocho poemas, algunos problemas de ajedrez con sus soluciones en versión de Félix de Azúa, los artículos «El canon Nabokov» y «Fantasmas leídos», la pieza «La novela más melancólica (Lolita recontada)» y una selecta colección de fotografías conforman este emocionante testimonio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Javier Marías's tribute to one of the contemporary novelists he admired most: Vladimir Nabokov.

"Marías is simply amazing." -Ali Smith

In this book, Javier Marías pays homage to one of the contemporary novelists he admired most: Vladimir Nabokov. Its goal is both to commemorate an author to whom felt indebted and to inspire readers to explore Nabokov's books for themselves.

Marías tells us about the day in 1950 when Nabokov's wife, Véra, managed to stop the frustrated author from burning the first few chapters of Lolita. We learn that he hated hearing critics cite his supposed influences, whether Joyce, Kafka, Proust or Dostoyevski. And that he found his greatest joys in solitary pursuits: collecting butterflies, solving chess problems, translating Pushkin, and writing.

A biographical sketch entitled "Vladimir Nabokov in Bliss"; 18 translated poems, chess problems and the Félix de Azúa version of their solutions; the articles "The Nabokov Canon" and "Read Ghosts"; "The Most Melancholy Novel (Lolita Retold)"; and a curated selection of photos add up to a moving tribute to one of the most influential authors of our time.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
