Yuri Leving, “Nabokov and Poetics of Urbanism”
After almost two years in production, my new book, “Train Station – Garage –
Hangar: Vladimir Nabokov and Poetics of Russian Urbanism” (“Vokzal –
Garazh – Angar” in Russian), is expected to be in print soon. It is being
published by the prestigious St. Petersburg “Ivan Limbakh Press.” The book
explores the poetics of movement and urban space in the oeuvre of Vladimir
Nabokov. I scrutinize Nabokov’s works from the specific point of view of
“poetics of urbanism,” a phenomenon that is examined within the context of
Russian and European literature of the XIX–XX centuries. The book
encompasses a broad territory of literary modernism, exploring three major
motifs: train (1st chapter), automobile (2nd chapter), and plane (3rd
chapter).
The book comes with illustrations and, thanks to Dmitry Nabokov, has a
special surprise for any Nabokophile! Mr. Nabokov has kindly provided this
edition with the never published rare photographs of his father and mother,
which feature various family cars on the background. I hope to forward the
more detailed description of the book to the list in the nearest future.
