Talk:The Gift (Nabokov novel)

Untitled
Is this book biographical? Is it just me or are there a number of strong parallels between the main character, Fyodor and Nabokov himself?


 * Yes, there are strong autobiographical parallels. However, there are just as many cases of deliberate inversion of the truth: for example, Zina is given a horrible anti-Semite for a stepfather, when in reality Vera's Jewish father was alive and a warm supporter of Nabokov. And of course the explorer father's imagined journey is a fairy-tale substitute Nabokov Sr's "disappearance" isto death.
 * If you're reading the novel now, expand the article! It's been on my to-do list forever but I don't know when I'll get around to it.
