Praise

“[Nabokov] has fleshed the bare bones of historical data with hilarious anecdotes and with a felicity of style that makes Speak, Memory a constant pleasure to read. Confirmed Nabokovians will relish the further clues and references to his fictional works that shine like nuggets in the silver stream of his prose.” —Harper’s

“Scintillating … One finds here amazing glimpses into the life of a world that has vanished forever.” —The New York Times

“When he is writing about someone or something he loves, he is irresistible; when he is writing about someone or something he despises, he can manage to enlist one’s sympathies, if only momentarily, for the object of his contempt.”  —The New York Review of Books
