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.

That's where you can also find old discussions of Whitman, Dickinson, Poe, and many more on Alex's YT channel and Spotify (formerly Anchor).

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