A review by stevenminer3
Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov
reflective
slow-paced
3.5
Nabakov's autobiography is filled with remarkable flashes of insight, mostly contained in images that have remained meaningful in this great author's memory. Between these flashes are passages that hold little interest for me, I must admit. Nabakov's imagination is constrained by the requirements of the genre. When his autobiography is most novel-like is when it is strongest. Recommended for the literary-minded and those interested in the mind that produced Lolita.
