	Vladimir Nabokov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nabokov was a synaesthete and described aspects of synaesthesia in several of his works.
		Nabokov's translation was the focus of a bitter polemic with Edmund Wilson and others; he had rendered the very precisely metered and rhyming novel in verse in (by his own admission) stumbling, non-rhymed prose.
		Gould notes that Nabokov was occasionally a scientific "stick-in-the-mud"; for example, Nabokov never accepted that genetics or the counting of chromosomes could be a valid way to distinguish species of insects, and relied on the traditional (for lepidopterists) microscopic comparison of their genitalia.

	1: every brain is on the brink
		Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov was born on 22 April 1899, not on 23 April and certainly not on 32 April, both of which have been reported.
		First-time readers of Nabokov are instantly struck by the dazzling poetry of his prose, the phonetic devices, the vast, infinitely pliable vocabulary, and the rather exotic use of grammar.
		Nabokov's ideal reader will immerse himself in the surface, feeling it as real sensory experience, while at the same time remaining continually aware that the book is the artifice of a distinct creative mind.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Vladimir Nabokov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		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.

		Vladimir Nabokov did rely on a number of his own experiences, being a professor throughout several colleges in the U.S. (Stanford, Cornell, Harvard), to poke a little fun at the mechanism of academic life, though unlike poor Pnin, he possessed an unmatched control and execution of the English language.
		One of Vladimir Nabokov's lesser-known works is "Pnin," a gently comic story about a perpetually lost Russian expatriate and the chaos that is his life.
		Vladimir Nabokov is so often called a "master stylist" that it is easy to forget that he is an adept storyteller as well.

		Nabokov's lesser-known short stories, written from the early 1920s to the mid 1950s, display the same stylistic splendor and technical inventiveness as do his novels.
		Chronologically, Nabokov's stories can be divided into four approximate periods: early period (1921-1928), middle period (1930-1935), high period (1936-1939), and American period (1940-1959).
		Nabokov's shorter fiction illuminates the evolution of his development as a prose writer, displaying his persistent search for the poetry and meaning of life.

	Lolita - Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov - Used Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Vladimir Nabokov's notorious, hilarious erotic murder mystery takes the form of a monologue by his hero, Humbert Humbert, as he attempts to justify his love for and obsession with the barely adolescent Dolores Haze, known as Lolita.
		Some critics see Humbert (who, like Nabokov, was a European émigré) and Lolita (the quintessentially vulgar American) as personifications of the Old and New Worlds, one corrupting the other (but which?).
		One of the astonishing aspects of Nabokov's masterpiece is his dazzling command of English, including puns and wordplay worthy of Joyce.

	Amazon.com: Nikolai Gogol: Books: Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Nabokov's essays on The Inspector General, Dead Souls, and "The Overcoat" are all quite illuminating and entertaining.
		The one other slightly irritating aspect of Nabokov's book that I can think of is that in the long passages that he quotes he insists on interjecting his own comments [in brackets] mid-sentence, thus ruining the flow of the prose that he took the trouble of translating so very well.
		Nabokov makes his point very entertainingly and very well, and although it might have been nice if he'd broadened his study to more of Gogol's work, his discussions of Gogol's three most important works are really excellent.

		He was Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov on the dotted Line.
		The nubile Nabokov learned his languages early, indeed; someone more romantic than myself might say he had always been trilingual, from the very moment he exited that blessed bastion of solitude, that warmest of wombs.
		But no introduction to the then nascent Nabokov could be complete without at least some mention of his jeune passion for chess, which, in his native, nimble Zemblan tongue, he referred to as lepidoptery.

		Anything taken to ^infinite degree ceases to remain a reflection of itself; Nabokov's depiction of extreme rationality toppling into utter madness is genius.
		Using chess as an analogy for life in the Defense Nabokov creates a claustrophobic environment as there are only so many possible moves and that number is diminished with each move.
		Like Kafka's heroes Nabokov's early heroes are victims of something too big for them to come to grips with.

		Nabokov's son, Dmitri, and Matthew Bruccoli have created the fullest, and by far the most amusing, portrait of the serious artist as trickster.
		In another letter, however, he takes care to thank White for a "chubby check." (One wishes this phrase had gained greater circulation.) Nabokov again and again comes off as a difficult author, challenging his publishers left, right, and center over issues large (and there were many) and as well as those that were niggling.
		Who would have guessed that Nabokov would ask Hugh Hefner, "Have you ever noticed how the head and ears of your Bunny resemble a butterfly in shape, with an eyespot on one hindwing?" --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché.
