Speak, Memory An Autobiography Revisited

"In places memory speaks at too great length, but more often with an hallucinatory and almost suffocating density of minute detail before which one's own memories of Nabokov's snobbery or peevishness, though only a page or two earlier, fade almost to nothing.When he is writing about someone or something he loves, he is irresistable; when he is writing of someone or something he despises, he can even manage to enlist one's sympathies, if only momentarily, for the object of his contempt."Nabokov, Vladimir is the author of 'Speak, Memory An Autobiography Revisited', published 1989 under ISBN 9780679723394 and ISBN 0679723390.
