Rumpus Book Club“Writers die twice”
“Writing remains a very interesting job, but destiny, or “fat Fate”, as Humbert Humbert calls it, has arranged a very interesting retribution. Writers lead a double life. And they die doubly, too. This is modern literature’s dirty little secret. Writers die twice: once when the body dies, and once when the talent dies.”
— Martin Amis at The Guardian on Nabokov and “the tortuous questions posed by genius in decline”
