About This Novel
"Speak, Memory" is a classic memoir by the master of fiction Nabokov. It spans thirty-seven years. It is one of Nabokov's most important and famous works. It is also one of the few unique and outstanding works in the past and present with the theme of time and memory. It straddles reality and fiction, and is more like a novel. Its language has a candid clarity and anatomical precision - the precision with which a lepidopterist observed the wonderful patterns on the wings of a butterfly through a high-power magnifying glass and described them, giving readers an extraordinary reading experience. Memory and review of the past often dominate Nabokov's novels, so this autobiography is an excellent password to interpret his novels, because memory itself is a hidden bridge between fantasy and reality, in which the writer exerts his unique imagination. A must-read for loyal readers of Nabokov, it provides first-hand insights into important novels such as Lolita, Pale Fire, The Defense, and Marie. The book contains more than 20 precious old photos of the Nabokov family, restoring the years written by Nabokov.
