Download As PDF : The World of Nabokov Stories eBook Maxim D Shrayer 
A "Choice Magazine" Outstanding Academic Book of the Year. A century after his birth, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) remains controversial, provocative, and "cool." Yet while he receives acclaim as a major American writer, few of his admirers in the West know the unique place he occupies in his native Russian tradition. In this captivating interpretation of Nabokov's career through the prism of his short fiction, Maxim D. Shrayer explores how Nabokov eclipsed the achievements of the great Russian masters of the short story, Anton Chekhov and others, with whom he maintained a dialogic relationship even as he became — in exile from Russia and his native tradition — an American writer. Maxim D. Shrayer, a bilingual author and translator, is Professor of Russian, English, and Jewish Studies at Boston College. Born in Moscow in 1967 to a writer’s family, Shrayer emigrated to the United States in 1987. He has authored over ten books in English and Russian, among them the literary memoirs “Leaving Russia A Jewish Story” and “Waiting for America A Story of Emigration,” the story collection “Yom Kippur in Amsterdam,” and the Holocaust study “I SAW IT.” Shrayer’s “Anthology of Jewish-Russian Literature” won a 2007 National Jewish Book Award, and in 2012 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship.

The World of Nabokov Stories eBook Maxim D Shrayer
This piece really does deserve credit. I am a ferocious devourer of Nabokov Criticism and this is one of the best works I've ever read. I have not worked through the whole thing but I use it often as a resource to my studies. The analysis of The Return of Chorb is especially brilliant and insightful, the several possibilities as to the name of Chorb were creative and compelling. I have a vast collection of Nabokov criticism from Stegner to Boyd, and this nice work joyously gets taken off the shelve to get played with quite often in comparison to many of the others.Product details
