Vladimir Nabokov and the Art of Play

Auteur: Karshan, Thomas (Lecturer in Literature, University of East Anglia)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
In a 1925 speech, Nabokov declared that 'everything in the world plays', including 'love, nature, the arts, and domestic puns.' Thomas Karshan draws on untranslated early writings and restricted archival material to argue that play is Nabokov's signature theme, and that his novels form one of the most sophisticated treatments of play ever achieved.
