About the Author

Vladimir Vladimirovich Nobokov was born April 22, 1899 in St. Petersburg, Russia to a wealthy family. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge. When he left Russia, he moved to Paris and eventually to the United States in 1940. He taught at Wellesley College and Cornell University. Nobokov is revered show more as one of the great American novelists of the 20th Century. Before he moved to the United States, he wrote under the pseudonym Vladimir Serin. Among those titles, were Mashenka, his first novel and Invitation to a Beheading. The first book he wrote in English was The Real Life of Sebastian Knight. He is best know for his work Lolita which was made into a movie in 1962. In addition to novels, he also wrote poetry and short stories. He was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction seven times, but never won it. Nabokov died July 2, 1977. show less

Disambiguation Notice:

Note that Nabokov/Sirin published two works called Соглядатай 'The spy': a novella first published in the émigré journal Sovremennye zapiski in 1930 and translated into English as The Eye, and a story collection including the novella published as a book in Paris in 1938. The latter has recently been republished by the Russian company Azbuka as Совершенство 'Perfection,' the name of one of the stories. If there are any LT copies of the 1938 collection, they should be combined with Совершенство [Sovershenstvo].

If there are any LT copies of the 1938 collection, they should be combined with Совершенство [Sovershenstvo].

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

I think what the scariest thing about this book is not what actually happens in it (which is thankfully fictional), but what it reveals about ourselves. We, the readers, are the real jury here, with the power of either condemning or acquitting Humbert ditto. But Humbty-Dumbty is so suave and such a smooth operator that he spellbinds us into his little game of sensational excuses and slippery lies. I'm ashamed to admit at times I actually found myself sympathizing with old wily Humblepie. Like a demon he tempts us with poisoned candy apples and Turkish delights and we gormandize them ravenously, and we only realize what we've done once it's too late. What a exceptional, ghastly book.… (more)

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Too creepy to be one of the top 100 books of the twentieth century. I view it as smut masquerading as literature. It was hard to keep reading a book entirely devoted to justifying pederasty. (regardless of the "beautiful" writing )

July 2020
I gained more insight to the novel's use of language and manipulation by listening to a lecture by Professor Amy Hungerford, through Open Yale (https://oyc.yale.edu/english/engl-291/lecture-5). It is still creepy and spine tingling. I think that was Nabokov's aim.

March 2021

The Gift (Vintage International) by Vladimir Nabokov

Nothing happens in this book! Rambling descriptions that go on for literally pages that make you forget the topic of the paragraph(s). Sentences that contain parentheticals that themselves last for half a page. All this in the service of literally no plot. NO PLOT. I hated this book.
