"I have tried many times to stop writing about him," Brian Boyd writes near the start of "Stalking Nabokov," "but ... he keeps on setting me new assignments, making me offers I cannot refuse."
 
As the photograph suggests, Brian Boyd's new assignment will be writing the biography of VN's cousin, the composer Nicolas Nabokov (1903-78).
