The World of Nabokov's Stories
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Univ of Texas Pr
- Publish date: 01/01/1999
Drawing on Nabokov's unpublished manuscripts and letters, Shrayer analyzes the paradigms of Nabokov's poetics and tests them in studies of representative stories. He investigates Nabokov's dialogue with Chekhov and his rivalry with Bunin. This in-depth analysis places Nabokov's short fiction in the main line of his writing career. Through references to all of Nabokov's stories, as well as to many novels and discursive writings, from the early emigre works of the 1920s to the late American works of the 1970s, Shrayer delineates the principal historical and cultural contexts that shaped Nabokov's development. Most importantly, he reveals, the metaphysical, ethical, and aesthetic concerns that shaped one of the most significant bodies of modern fiction.
