Probably
already noted: Thomas Karshan’s brilliant reviews of three books about
VN in current TLS (Feb 4, 2011, No. 5627) Particularly percipient
re-Michael Maar’s Speak, Nabokov. My order for TK’s monogram is
en route.
PS: Listening (and re-listening) to Pale Fire, the audio-book, is a
mixed blessing, as one can imagine! Following CK’s non-linear advice on
consulting his footnotes/comments before, during and after the Cantos
is impractical. On the other hand, Shade as Poet comes over better than
I had pre-judged from my own reading. Nevertheless, listening
undoubtedly reveals more of VN
In CK than it does of VN in JS.
