Book Reviews of Speak, Memory (Everyman's Library (Cloth))
Book Review: A sight into the life Nabokov put on his fictions
Summary: 4 Stars
In this book Navokov let us see how his works were pregnant of his past. It's a collection of several articles, a kind of puzzle, in wich we see through the coloured glass of his fine prose some scenes of his life recreated in his main caracters (Sebastian Knight, for example). He take us from Chapter one (wich begins with the words "The craddle..." and ends with "...the coffin") through his enchanted russian childhood and his first love affair with Tamara to the day he leaves France with his wife and child to begin his american years.More than a common biography you will find a novel that he doubles in 1974's "Look at the harlequins!" in a fine exercise of counterpoint.
