ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Javier Mar as's tribute to one of the contemporary novelists he admired most: Vladimir Nabokov. "Mar as is simply amazing." -Ali Smith In this book, Javier Mar as pays homage to one of the contemporary novelists he admired most: Vladimir Nabokov. Its goal is both to commemorate an author to whom felt indebted and to inspire readers to explore Nabokov's books for themselves. Mar as tells us about the day in 1950 when Nabokov's wife, V ra, managed to stop the frustrated author from burning the first few chapters of Lolita. We learn that he hated hearing critics cite his supposed influences, whether Joyce, Kafka, Proust or Dostoyevski. And that he found his greatest joys in solitary pursuits: collecting butterflies, solving chess problems, translating Pushkin, and writing. A biographical sketch entitled "Vladimir Nabokov in Bliss"; 18 translated poems, chess problems and the F lix de Az a version of their solutions; the articles "The Nabokov Canon" and "Read Ghosts"; "The Most Melancholy Novel (Lolita Retold)"; and a curated selection of photos add up to a moving tribute to one of the most influential authors of our time.
