One of the cutest pieces from my collection is this pocket dictionary, one of the first Slovenian-English dictionaries ever published. So, as I told my listeners last month – if anyone across the pond encounters a pile of old Slovenian books and doesn’t know what to do with them, you’re more than welcome to contact me.
Once nobody in the neighborhood can read a certain book anymore and no second hand store is interested in taking it, it’s not hard to guess the most likely fate of that book. Fewer and fewer descendants of Slovenian immigrants to the USA still speak the language, which means that interest in Slovenian books is declining as well. Not only is this a topic I felt American listeners would be interested in, it’s also very close to the subject matter of my blog. In the third part, I discussed Slovene American publishing, focusing on some items from my own collection. In the second part, I then talked about what it’s like to collect books in a small place like Slovenia, and how I think it compares to the experience of an American collector. The first one was a brief outline of the history of Slovenian language and literature – a soporific topic, but I tried to make it less so by focusing on the funny and quirky episodes of our story. My lecture ended up consisting of three parts. The FBS leadership told me I was welcome to speak about anything, as long as it had to do with books and book collecting in Slovenia. Most of their speakers are local (especially before Covid, when the meetings would be held in person), but the pandemic has brought about the shift to Zoom and with it, exotic guests like myself. Last autumn, fellow blogger Jerry Morris from the Florida Bibliophile Society (FBS) invited me to talk about books as a guest speaker at their society meeting, which was scheduled for March 20, 2022. Nonetheless, I also enjoy talking about books. And what better way there is to celebrate books and the written word than to write about them. Several people have told me I’m good at writing, though. I was never tempted to make videos or podcasts for The Fate of Books, and even if I wanted to produce them, they probably wouldn’t be very good.
