Reviews

"Nabokov writes prose the only way it should be written, that is, ecstatically." -- John Updike

One of the twentieth century's master prose stylists, Vladimir Nabokov was born in St. Petersburg in 1899.

In 1940 he moved to the United States, and achieved renown as a novelist, poet, critic, and translator. He taught literature at Wellesley, Stanford, Cornell, and Harvard. In 1961 he moved to Montreux, Switzerland, where he died in 1977.
