| | The New York Review of Books: The Strange Case of Pushkin and Nabokov |
 | | Nabokov is kind enough to include in his notes and to compliment as "well translated." He italicized, however, words and phrases of which he does not approve. | | | Nabokov says that the latter act is "quite out of character." He does not seem to be aware that Onegin, among his other qualities, is, in his translator's favorite one-syllable adjective, decidedly $$$—that is, nasty, méchant. | | | Nabokov arouses one's hopes when we find such correct transliterations as Lyov, Pyotr, Pletnyov, and Oryol; but then he discourages these hopes by writing—except in the index, where, for some reason, both spellings are given—what ought to be Kishinyov and Mogilyov as Kishinev and Mogilev. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Vladimir Nabokov |
| | Nabokov is the author of seventeen novels and some sixty-five stories, many of which exist in double versions – Russian-English, or English-Russian: if not originally authored in both languages, then authorised (and definitively polished) by him through collaborative translation (mostly with his son Dmitri). | | | Nabokov\'s lofty reputation rests by no means solely on Lolita, which has nevertheless been dubbed “the supreme novel of love in the twentieth century”. | | | The recreation of lost love and the magic of childhood is a prominent concern; problems of memory and knowledge are a constant; style and story are the dominant: “the good writer is first of all an enchanter”, he would remark. |

| | Alfred Appel's annotated Lolita (authorised by Nabokov) unpacks the novel's allusions. | | | Now working in English, he collaborated on translations of his work in each direction; although he was dismissive of his second language, he is regarded as perhaps the stylist of the century (John Updike commented that "Nabokov writes prose the only way it should be written, that is, ecstatically."). | | | By far the most frequently read of his novels - "Lolita is famous, not I", he once said - Nabokov himself described it as a "firebomb". |

| | CONTEXT: Keith Gessen reading Vladimir Nabokov |
| | Nabokov is their favorite writer, the convenient novelistic illustration of their theoretical axioms. | | | But the energy Nabokov devoted to discerning and then speculating upon the qualities of people and books he despised was not merely spent to keep his nose out of joint. | | | Like many newly minted Americans, Nabokov worked to reinvent himself upon new shores--but he did not fall upon us from the sky. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books Review Exiles in a small world |
| | Pnin is Nabokov as he might have been in American exile if he had not possessed a mastery of the English language, a supportive and cherished wife, and the resource of literary creativity - a quaint, eccentric, rather sad figure, doomed never to understand fully the society in which he finds himself. | | | Nabokov had never known such success before, but it was nothing to what awaited him. | | | To consider the possible sources of Pnin in Nabokov's experiences at Cornell is to be reminded that the book was a very early example of the "campus novel", a subgenre which is very familiar to us now, but was only just beginning to manifest itself in the early 50s. |

| | Nabokov never really lost his taste for precious little scenes or labored exercises in style - they appear late in the book, too - but the stories that don't really work are often partly redeemed by something: a phrase, a sense of character or just his ease with abnormality. | | | Nabokov wrote most of these stories in Berlin and Paris in the 1920s and 1930s, between fleeing the newly revolutionized Russia and coming to America. | | | In this three-page story which combines a ghostly Puck with a writer who may or may not be the author himself, Nabokov kisses off what was and suggests the prose magician to come. |

The novel recounts the life of a philosopher, Adam Krug, who is blackmailed by an oppressive political regime into prostituting his talents. | | | These are Nabokov's notes on the translation, recorded by Véra in a Cornell University examination book, c.1958. |

Nabokov once remarked that art is "beauty plus pity," and in his fiction, beauty and pity rub together mightily. | | | Some readers apparently interpret the very beauty of his prose as cruel -- and there is a hyper-refinement, an airy, curiously high-pitched quality to its beauty that can feel cruel simply because it throws the whole beastly, mundane, plodding corporeality of human beings into such grotesque relief. | | | In his supercilious dismissal of this whimsical idea, Nabokov described his characters as "galley slaves" -- a comment exuding the playful, haughty spirit that drove (and still drives) some critics nuts. |

| | Images - Hitchcock/Nabokov |
| | Both had but one child, Nabokov a son and Hitchcock a daughter, and the children of each was involved in their father's work (Dimitri Nabokov translated some of his father's novels and Pat Hitchcock acted in three of her father's films). | | | Nabokov had to decline due to his own work schedule, but one can only imagine what kind of a film these two men would have made together. | | | While there were vast differences between the lives of Hitchcock and Nabokov, there were also some profound similarities that I feel shed some light on their careers and work. |
