The Resource Nabokov, Vladimir Vladimirovich, 1899-1977

Description: Simply put, Vladimir Nabokov is a genius. A chameleon who effortlessly changes voice, Nabokov loves interplay between author and reader - it's his "game," a fascinating one for both players. The depth of his prose is near-indescribable: beautiful sentences peppered with literary allusions, scathing parodies, and puns that require the reader be as trilingual as Nabokov himself. Readers love his masterful characterization and complex, innovative conceits. Full of love triangles and dark comedy, often at his oblivious narrators' expense, his work features themes of time past, memory, obsession, tragedy, and, almost paradoxically, joy. Start with: The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov (fiction); Speak, Memory (nonfiction)
