Description:
As with his other works, Nabokov, in Sebastian Knight, works his perverse magic in more than one dimension. On the surface, this is a literary detective story - subtle, intricate, and built to a tantalizing climax. On another level, it has pungent points to make about the role of the creative artist in a society that is basically hostile to art. Going deeper, the book probes the essential problem of human identity - who was Sebastian Knight?
