Description
This book, first published in 1951 as Conclusive evidence and then assiduously revised in 1966, examines Nabokov's life and times while offering incisive insights into his major works, including Lolita, Pnin, Despair, The gift, The real life of Sebastian Knight, and The defense.
First Sentence
THE cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.
