The protagonist of Vladimir Nabokov's The Gift playfully dreamed of
writing "A Practical Handbook: How to Be Happy." Now, Nabokov's own
creative reader Lila Azam Zanganeh lends life to this vision with
sly sophistication and ebullient charm, as she shares the delirious
joy to be found in reading the masterpieces of "the great writer of
happiness." Plunging into the enchanted and luminous worlds of
Speak, Memory; Ada, or Ardor; and the infamous Lolita, Azam
Zanganeh seeks out the Nabokovian experience of time, memory,
sexual passion, nature, loss, love in all its forms, and language
in all its allusions. She explores Nabokov's geography-from his
Russian childhood to the landscapes of "his" America-suffers
encounters with his beloved "nature," hallucinates an interview
with the master, and seeks the "crunch of happiness" in his
singular vocabulary. This beautifully illuminated book will both
reignite the passion of experienced Nabokovians and lure the
innocent reader to a well of delights as yet unseen.
