And for those fans of the grotesque, I suggest they purchase Binyin's biography from Amazon.Com. That way, they can consider Amazon's suggestion that they also purchase William Taubman's new biography of Krushchev to complement the life of Pushkin! One needn't be a Nabokovian to find such a juxtaposition unbelievably bizarre. What's next: a new biography of Melville paired with Anthony Summers recent life of Nixon? Good Lord.

EDNOTE. This new biography of Pushkin is of interest to Nabokov readers. Nabokov was born in 1899 exactly a hundred years before Russian's most famous poet and writer and identified closely with him. Anyone who reads Nabokov without knowing something of his glamorous forerunner is missing a vital dimension of the Russo-American writer.
