I've always thought he and others who spoke like him sounded educated and cultured. Perhaps it's related to the fact that I was born and raised in a place and time where many people, including many of my relatives, spoke with a very heavy Pennsylvania German accent. Then there is the "Philadelphia accent" [please God, don't let me ever adopt that]. Natives of South Philadelphia sound like their cousins from Brooklyn. Sorry, but :P )

Not Off Topic at all. I totally agree!

I could start on a eulogy about Timothée too, but had better get on with my own RL.

Thanks for the beautiful gifs, John.
I think I know you from some of the get-together photos on DCF/UBF (although so many of them have now sadly disappeared).
Jeff Wrangler:
Just minutes ago I finished the book. I've marked so many pages that it might have been simpler to mark the pages I don't want to revisit.
Perhaps I shouldn't write this, but not too far from the end, I came across a perfectly dreadful typo. Aciman's publisher should be ashamed.
[The postcard of Monet's berm] "One of our previous American summer residents had fished it out in a flee market in Paris. ..."
Ah, um, that should be "flea market." ::)
What is it about shirts and postcards. ...
Jeff Wrangler:
Finishing the novel last night has left me in a really peculiar mood this morning--even for a Monday.
I think part of the trouble is that reading the novel has disinterred things from my own past that I would have preferred stayed buried.
I should probably be discussing this on my own blog rather than here.
I should find out if the film is still playing in Philadelphia, except that I will be away this weekend, so I'm not sure there's a point to that, unless I can determine if it's still playing Easter Monday. I could possibly see it then.
As it happens, I'm acquainted with someone whose family background is Italian Jewish. He was born and raised in Israel; I don't know when his family moved there from Italy. He has his Green Card. He married a U.S. citizen (I am well acquainted with the marriage because I was his husband's Best Man!).
But anyway, not yet having seen the movie, it's his voice I "hear" as I read the text, and his face I "see" rather than the voice and face of Timothee Chalamet. (I do "hear" and "see" Armie Hammer, probably because I've already seen him elsewhere.)
