Imagining Nabokov: Russia Between Art and Politics
Nina L. Khrushcheva | ISBN: 0300108869 | PDF | 252 pages | 2008 | 5 MB

"A very lively, funny, and informed piece of work, full of interesting opinions about Russia, the West, individual writers, and various national literatures."-Michael Wood, Princeton University

"Combining literary criticism with political theory is often attempted and rarely done well. Nina Khrushcheva succeeds brilliantly in this highly original work. Her book deepens one''s knowledge of Nabokov, Russia, and the condition of exile by mixing literary and political concerns without diminishing the importance or interest of either."-Ian Buruma, Henry Luce Professor of Democracy, Human Rights and Journalism, Bard College

"In her searching, thought-provoking meditation on Vladimir Nabokov's reaction to exile from his native Russia, Dr. Khrushcheva gives us unique insights into the moral and intellectual struggle going on in Russia today. It is an important work, not only for admirers of Nabokov's writings, but also for anyone who wishes to understand better what lies behind the dramatic and seemingly contradictory changes that are taking place in post-Soviet Russia."-Jack F. Matlock, Jr., U.S. Ambassador to the USSR, 1987-1991; author of Autopsy on an Empire, and Reagan and Gorbachev: How the Cold War Ended
