Awarded the Jane Grayson Prize by the International Vladimir
Nabokov Society Shortlisted for The European Society for the Study
of English (ESSE) Book Award Nabokov and Nietzsche: Problems and
Perspectives addresses the many knotted issues in the work of
Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita's moral stance, Pnin's relationship with
memory, Pale Fire's ambiguous internal authorship - that often
frustrate interpretation. It does so by arguing that the philosophy
of Friedrich Nietzsche, as both a conceptual instrument and a
largely unnoticed influence on Nabokov himself, can help to untie
some of these knots. The study addresses the fundamental problems
in Nabokov's writing that make his work perplexing, mysterious and
frequently uneasy rather than simply focusing on the literary
puzzles and games that, although inherent, do not necessarily
define his body of work. Michael Rodgers shows that Nietzsche's
philosophy provides new, but not always palatable, perspectives in
order to negotiate interpretative impasses, and that the uneasy
aspects of Nabokov's work offer the reader manifold rewards.
