The BBC interviews Michael Maar in anticipation of the author's
Speak, Nabokov
(Maar's previous Nabokov outing,
The Two Lolitas
, was thorough and balanced (and introduced the concept of
cryptomnesia into the
mainstream), so looking forward to this thing too):
The author of a new study of Vladimir Nabokov’s fiction, Michael Maar, explains how the often tumultuous events of the writer’s life, including the death of his younger brother in a concentration camp, imprinted themselves on his work in surprising ways.
