Adopting the modernist master Vladimir Nabokov as its guide,
Nabokov in Motion: Modernity and Movement is an exploration of the
radically changing social, historical, technological, and literary
culture of the early 20th century, a time when modes of
communication and transportation, especially, were changing society
in drastic and profound ways. Across seventy microchapters that are
by turn serious, ironic, informative, and playful, and which take
on topics such as automobiles, trains, airplanes, electricity,
elevators, advertisements, telegraphs, and telephones, Yuri Leving
offers new ways to understand Nabokov, Russian literature, and
technology, modernism, and world material culture. Nabokov's
writings are analyzed against a broad context of prose and poetry
and from the point of view of what Leving calls the poetics of
urbanism in literature. Nabokov in Motion is a ground-breaking
exploration of urban and material themes in literature and creates
a complex and vibrant cultural fabric of which Nabokov is the
master weaver.
