dc.description.abstract |
Selects 26 of over 100 essays, 1990-2010, on Nabokov’s life, thought, art, science, relations to other writers and traditions, and on individual works. “Not only is anything that Boyd writes about Nabokov significant, but his study of Nabokov is remarkably dynamic. . . . a fascinating story of continual intellectual rediscovery”—Susan Elizabeth Sweeney, Holy Cross. “A real treasure. . . . remarkable . . . —all readers and scholars of Vladimir Nabokov will need this.”—Michael Wood, Princeton. First reviews: “Boyd's graceful style and passionate advocacy achieves the goal of the best literary criticism: it compels us to pick up Nabokov and read, or read again, the work of a master” (Publishers Weekly); “advances a consistent and intriguing reading of Nabokov’s work. . . . a powerful corrective to a prevailing view of Nabokov” (Boston Globe); “ambitious . . . fervent . . . epiphanic” (Martin Amis, TLS); “absolutely fascinating . . . uniquely compelling. . . . This is Boyd at his best” (San Francisco Chronicle). |
