2025 books read. Not pictured, Lutz’s Backwardness. Best of the year: The Mountain Lion by Jean Stafford, with Purdy’s Cabot Wright Begins close behind.
@DepartureJay I’ve always defended The Remains of the Day, but it is objectively not better than Pale Fire, The Brother’s K, The Trial and Don Quixote (I haven’t read Lolita).
@darwin8u They were all incredible. If I had to rank them:
4. Whores for Gloria
3. Laughter in the Dark
2. Skin Elegies
1. Nabokov’s Dozen.
Do you have any other Olsen recommendations?
