by (u. S.) Vladimir Nabokov And Others
About This Novel
The key to interpreting "Lolita" and the precious letters that reveal Nabokov's life story are published for the first time in China! How do literary masters and pungent critics go from being intimate to parting ways? In-depth communication with tacit understanding + collision of sparking ideas + outspoken and sharp comments + little-known anecdotes in the literary world! This book collects the correspondence between the novelist Nabokov and his close friend, the famous critic Edmund Wilson, from 1940 to 1971. It is an in-depth exchange between the two wise men with a tacit understanding. Sparkling collisions of ideas, outspoken and sharp comments, and little-known anecdotes from the literary world are all in it. As these candid letters will prove, the two men's final estrangement was preceded by a quarter of a century of personal and intellectual intimacy. The mutual stimulating and stimulating interactions between the two writers, as well as the continuous and vital exchange of views, are all importantly reflected in their respective biographies. UC Berkeley professor Simon Kalinsky has expanded and revised the previous version, tracing the complexities of the friendship between the two writers in greater detail.
