	Literary Encyclopedia: Vladimir Nabokov
		The reputation of Vladimir Nabokov, in terms of his achievement in establishing himself as a major writer in two literatures, is an extremely rare one in western culture.
		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, who always claimed “I think in images”, prided himself on his mastery of prose style in two of the world's foremost literary languages and his oeuvre remains, as one consequence, the happiest of hunting grounds for narrative theorists, exponents of intertextuality, and sleuths of the hidden pattern.

	Nabokov, Vladimir - Facts from the Encyclopedia - Yahoo! Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		One of the great novelists of the 20th cent., Nabokov was an extraordinarily imaginative writer, often experimenting with the form of the novel.
		Although his works are frequently obscure and puzzling—filled with grotesque incidents, word games, and literary allusions—they are always erudite, witty, and intriguing.
		Among collections of his short stories are Nine Stories (1947), Nabokov's Dozen (1958), and A Russian Beauty (1973); many of them are gathered in The Stories of Vladimir Nobokov (1995).

	The Life and Works of Vladimir Nabokov
		Born to a wealthy and prominent family in St. Petersburg in 1899, Nabokov developed a love of poetry, a passion for butterflies and a fascination with and mastery of languages in his childhood, and these life-long interests would all figure prominently in his prolific body of work.
		For 20 years Nabokov supported his family by teaching at Wellesley College and Cornell University; but with the slow-building but eventually worldwide success of his controversial novel Lolita, Nabokov was able to devote his life solely to writing--and butterfly hunting.
		This seminar was derived from "Nabokov Under Glass: A Centennial Exhibition," held at The New York Public Library in 1999, of materials from the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature, which includes the Vladimir Nabokov Archive.

	Personal Best: Lolita
		The subject of sexuality and the young is taboo enough, but the idea at the very heart of the novel, of such dramatic inter-generational coupling, has the power to shock still, and probably always will.
		What makes "Lolita" a work of greatness isn't that its title has become ingrained in the vernacular, isn't that was a generation ahead of America in fetishizing young girls.
		No, it is the writing, the way Nabokov bounces around in words like the English language is a toy trunk, the sly wit, the way it's devastating and cynical and heartbreaking all at once.

	Personal Best: Lolita
		The annotated edition is accompanied by a brilliant afterword by Nabokov that is a lucid reminder of the pure joy of writing, its interplay with life.
		He also provides the truest definition of pornography I've ever found, likening it to mediocre literature and the "copulation of cliches." I'll keep this in mind if I ever get around to seeing the latest makeover of "Lolita" on film.
		And while I often admire his opinions as a writer, particularly his distaste for literary deconstructionism, I probably wouldn't have liked him in person.
