I asked that once before and the two clubs are separate. Nomination in one doesn't preclude nomination in the other.

If Can/US gets picked for region in the lit club for February, we could read it next month.

I'm for any region being chosen for any reason as they're all great choices, but be aware that the criteria is that an author should be from the region chosen.

Nabokov became an American in 1945, Lolita was written in English and the setting is a trip across the USA. I don't see how by any criterion it could be considered to be anything but an American work. I admit it, some books are hard to slot, but not this one!

Sounds like a good reason to choose US/Canada for our region then!

You're perfectly right with USA/Canada as a region for this book, of course, I only thought that it would additionally fit the regions Russia and Europe too.

A quick "Thank You" to those who nominated and/or voted for A Town Like Alice.
I'm half way through... Now back to work... But I have a lunch break soon. |
