Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov was born on April 23, 1899, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Nabokov household was trilingual, and as a young man, he studied Slavic and romance languages at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking his honors degree in 1922. For the next eighteen years he lived in Berlin and Paris, writing prolifically in Russian under the pseudonym Sirin and supporting himself through translations, lessons in English and tennis, and by composing the first crossword puzzles in Russian. In 1925 he married Vera Slonim, with whom he had one child, a son, Dmitri. Having already fled Russia and Germany, Nabokov became a refugee once more in 1940, when he was forced to leave France for the United States. There he taught at Wellesley, Harvard, and Cornell. He also gave up writing in Russian and began composing ficticvbn ral books of criticism. Vladimir Nabokov died in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1977.
In Pale Fire Nabokov offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures: a 999-line poem by the reclusive genius John Shade; an adoring foreword and commentary by Shade's self-styled Boswell, Dr. Charles Kinbote; a darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry and one-upmanship, and political intrigue.

评分读了几本纳氏的书,《洛丽塔》、《普宁》...还不错,但《自斩首之邀》开始,我就有一个个感觉,那就是老觉着纳氏看着我们为他的作品头痛而暗自偷笑——“你们费尽心思地想找寻些什么?那只是我丢弃的一团乱麻。”
评分纳博科夫写这本书到底要告诉我们什么?是内容本身的意义还是形式带给来的新的尝试和美感?《我的名字叫红》里面也有个凶手,橄榄,蝴蝶,鹳鸟,是谁并不重要,只要知道谋杀是文化冲突造成的内涵就够了。同样,变态的(金伯特眼中的)格拉杜斯追杀逃亡的赞巴拉国王的故事并没什...
說實話讀完了又咂摸了一下,還是覺得沒怎麼讀懂
评分四星半。这是一部poetic novel,还是novelized poem?其实这一点不重要。非常可贵的一点是,纳博科夫在这样的作品中,对语言的挥发和现代性的探索,要比他汲汲追求的诗歌(传统意义上的)更具价值意义。从这一点上,他要比作为“诗人”的乔伊斯看的通透。我相信于此他是有所自觉的。
评分Yes, Read Nabokov, you have to read the English.
评分An electrifying book that no one other than Nabokov is capable of writing.
评分remarkable
