Remembering Nabokov

Sam Riley bio ↓  ·  July 6th, 2011  ·  filed under Other

Four days ago was the anniversary of Vladimir Nabokov’s death and this Paris Review blog remembers the wordsmith/butterfly catcher as the compelling professor and famous author that he became.

There’s even a vague Lady Gaga comparison/reference. And did you know he’s the only author to strictly abide by the self-interview rules? He either had control issues or was just really cool. Probably both, though.
