Night School - Pale Fire

from Bookwarm Games Hosted by Wesley Schantz

Welcome to the return of Night School, a segment Alex and I had going for awhile back in the day reading and discussing classic literature. We're calling this installment Night School Pt Deux: The Ennightening. With Babcock, our friend from St John's, we read/play and reread/replay Nabokov's Pale Fire.

Thanks for listening. We'll be back soon with a conversation on Pushkin's Eugene Onegin.
