Chekhov's Mistress
Links Today
I’ve been busy trying to beef up some content at my TypePadTips site, so in lieu of my normal long-windedness, I offer links:
Poetry
James Marcus reflects on reports from New Orleans.
Look at Book
(seen at Design Observer).
Find Books Studiously
Looking for really geeky way to find books for your reading list? Look no further than the Website of Labyrinth Books (newly redesigned, I might add) for listings of required reading in courses at area colleges, such as the English & Comparative Literature department at Columbia University. For instance, Edith Grossman, the latest – and recommended by moi – translator of Don Quixote is teaching a class on that very same book this semester, and you can guess the required reading for the course. I’m surprised actually, now that I’m a veteran of the DQ Challenge, that there are no other texts suggested beside the book itself.
There’s also another Quixote course and some interesting fodder, such as a course called “Extreme Literatures East/West.” There’s a course called Re-reading Nabokov, with “Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books” listed as suggested reading, and “The Poet as Critic” with some interesting selections. Although there are other schools listed in the database, Columbia is the closest and I think there’s more from their courses.
