This has been out there for a year and a half, and I’m just now finding it? The Millions has a guide to pronouncing troublesome literary names. Not sure where to put the stress in Nabokov? Always confusing Theroux and Thoreau? Trouble yourself no more.
One last puzzle remains. Have I been mispronouncing da Vinci incorrectly all this time?
