Description

Vladimir Nabokov's Think, Write, Speak is a treasure trove of previously uncollected texts from across his extraordinary career. Spanning a lifetime of writing, this collection includes a precocious essay from 1921, alongside interviews and letters to the editor given just before his death in 1977. Edited by his biographer Brian Boyd, this work offers a unique insight into Nabokov's aesthetic credo, his passion for great writing, and his experiences with fame. Here, Nabokov is at his most inspirational, curious, playful, and misleading. His seriousness about his artistic vision, his delight in great writing, and his dismay at his sudden global fame in the 1950s are all brilliantly delineated. This collection is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of literature's most complex and intriguing authors. With 576 pages of previously uncollected texts, Think, Write, Speak is a valuable addition to any literary collection.
