Born to an eminent Russian family, Vladimir Nabokov came to America fleeing the Nazis and remembered his time here as the richest of his life. Indeed, his best work flowed from his response to this storied land. With charm and insight, Robert Roper fills out this period in the writers life: his friendship with Edmund Wilson, his time at Cornell, his role at Harvards Museum of Comparative Zoology. But Nabokov in America finds its narrative heart in his and his familys serial sojourns into the West. Roper has mined fresh sources to bring detail to these journeys, and traces their significant influence in Nabokovs work: on twolane highways and in late40s motels and cafs, we feel Lolita draw near, and understand Nabokovs seductive familiarity with the American mundane. Nabokov in America is also a love letter to U.S. literature, in Nabokovs broad embrace of it from Melville to the Beats. Reading Roper, we feel anew the rich learning and the Romantic mind behind some of Nabokovs most beloved books.
