About This Novel
A collection of systematically related personal memories spanning thirty-seven years (from August 1903 to May 1940), it is one of Nabokov's most important and famous works. It uses the precise language of a lepidopterist to observe the wonderful patterns on butterfly wings through a high-power magnifying glass and describe them, giving readers an extraordinary reading experience. Memory and review of the past often dominate Nabokov's novels, so this autobiography is an excellent code for interpreting his novels, because memory itself is a hidden bridge between fantasy and reality.
