Reading Nabokov!By Javel SaudadesGreat book!4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great to read the earlier stuffBy Susan CHave to reread it--ALWAYS re-read Nabokov! But theres some beautiful stuff in there; with the translators opting for the literal; even if weird; version of the lines. I am glad they did that.
