Ehrenburg on VN
From
Date
Body
A (relatively) early mention of VN by a Soviet writer. In his memoirs "Люди, годы, жизнь" (People, Years, Life, 1966; Book Three, chapter 2) Ilya Ehrenburg writes:
Старая эмиграция исчезла: люди состарились, умерли; их дети стали исправными французами, немцами, англичанами. Сын кадета Набокова, убитого некогда ультрамонархистом, теперь один из самых читаемых писателей Америки; он писал сначала по-русски, потом по-французски, теперь пишет по-английски. (The son of the Constitutional Democrate Nabokov, who was killed by an ultra-monarchist, is now one of America's most widely-read writers; he wrote at first in Russian, then in French, now he writes in English.)
In an interview Nabokov called Ehrenburg (1891-1967) a talented journalist and a big sinner.
