Places of Interest

It’s been a long time since I have bookmarked these links with th purpose of sharing them.

»Tam Tam Books

is a publishing house that came to my attention after reading the review of The Dead All Have the Same Skin” by Boris Vian, in LA Times.

TamTam Books is a publishing house that specializes in 20th Century international literature and is devoted to the purpose of reprinting lost masterpieces and presenting them to a large English speaking audience.

They published translation of Vian’s novels like the famous Foam of Daze and Autumn in Pekin, Serge Gainsbourg’s Evguenie Sokolov and Considerations on the Assassination of Gérard Lebovici
by Guy Debord.

»The Paris Review

is another place on the web that I visit often and appreciate dearly. The Paris Review is a gold mine of interviews dating back to 1950s.

Our Q&A encounters with the great writers of our times have come to be recognized as a sort of literary genre unto themselves: the Paris Review interview. More than fifty years—and more than three hundred interviews—later, the archive continues to grow with each new issue of the magazine.

I was happy to read an interview with Vladimir Nabokov featured in their summerfall 1967 issue.
