The first collection to address the vexing issue of Nabokov's moral
stances, this book argues that he designed his novels and stories
as open-ended ethical problems for readers to confront. In a dozen
new essays, international Nabokov scholars tackle those problems
directly while addressing such questions as whether Nabokov was a
bad reader, how he defined evil, if he believed in God, and how he
constructed fictional works that led readers to become aware of
their own moral positions. In order to elucidate his engagement
with aesthetics, metaphysics, and ethics, Nabokov and the Question
of Morality explores specific concepts in the volume's four
sections: "Responsible Reading," "Good and Evil," "Agency and
Altruism," and "The Ethics of Representation." By bringing together
fresh insights from leading Nabokovians and emerging scholars, this
book establishes new interdisciplinary contexts for Nabokov studies
and generates lively readings of works from his entire career.
