Nabokov Upside Down brings together essays that explicitly diverge
from conventional topics and points of reference when interpreting
a writer whose influence on contemporary literature is unrivaled.
Scholars from around the world here read Nabokov in terms of bodies
rather than minds, belly-laughs rather than erudite wit, servants
rather than master-artists, or Asian rather than Western
perspectives. The first part of the volume is dedicated to surveys
of Nabokov's oeuvre that transform some longheld assumptions
concerning the nature of and significance of his work. Often
thought of as among the most cerebral of artists, Nabokov comes
across in these essays as profoundly aware of the physical world,
as evidenced by his masterly representation of physical movement,
his bawdy humor, and his attention to gustatory pleasure, among
other aspects of his writing. The volume's second half focuses on
individual works or phases in Nabokov's career, noting connections
among them as well as to other fields of inquiry beyond literature.
Engaged in conversation with each other and, in his editorial
comments, with Brian Boyd, the essays in this volume show Nabokov
scholarship continuing to renew itself.
