Nabokov’s Favorite Word is Mauve
Nabokov’s Favorite Word Is Mauve by data journalist Ben Blatt crunches numbers on famous novels to explore style, clichés, and craft. Using statistics, he looks at adverbs, clichés, and sentence length in everyone from Hemingway to Rowling, making it catnip for book-loving teens who also enjoy math. Parents like that it shows how data can illuminate art without killing the joy of reading. It’s best for strong readers in late middle school and high school who already know some of the referenced authors. As an entertaining, mid-priced paperback, it’s a fun bridge between English and statistics.
