"That is definitively my favorite! Seems to me like the apotheosis of his own youth and a wonderful chronicle of vanishing childhood in aristocratic Russia..."
"Of more interest to Nabokov scholars than to anyone looking for a representative anthology of readable translations of Russian classics. Worth reading for the occasional great Nabokovian sentence, such as this one, after a Robert Lowell "adaptation":
"Recently I have been so distressed by a well-known American poet's impossible travesty of Mandelshtam's logic and magic that I cast around for some Russian poem that I could still save from the enthusiastic paraphrast who strangles another man's muse with his own muse's strong hair.""
"I have to say that I liked Nabokov's introductions and essays much more than his translations. There was far too much poetry that I just didn't care about, try as I might. But it felt good to read and to hold. The dust jacket has a pleasant texture. And its pages smell as smart as I'd like to feel, at least while I had my hands on it. Problem is, when I set it down (and finally filed it on my bookshelf), I felt stupid again. Stupider, even, if that's a word and/or possibility."
