(563); Chronology (751), Note on the Texts (783), Notes (786) * ABOUT THE BOOK: After a brilliant literary career writing in Russian, Vladimir Nabokov emigrated to the United States in 1940 & went on to an even more brilliant literary career in English. Between 1939 & 1974 he wrote the autobiography & eight novels now collected by the Library of America in an authoritative three-volume set, earning a place as one of the greatest writers of America, his beloved adopted home. This 3rd & final volume of the LOA edition of Nabokov presents his three late masterpieces: "Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle" (1969), the longest of Nabokov's novels, is a witty & parodic account of a man's lifelong love for his sister. Nabokov's favorite themes & most characteristic techniques are woven into this culminating work of Nabokov's imagination. The linguistic richness of the book's free blending of English, Russian & French is matched by the baroque & dreamlike splendor of the alternate universe it creates, a universe in which time moves in more than one direction & all details are cunningly interrelated. "Transparent Things" (1972) is a haunting novella of the anguished life of Hugh Person, a young American editor & proofreader: his marriage, the murder of his wife, & his lone journey to uncover the truth about his past. With its multiple narrative voices & fusion of dream & memory, it is among the most formally experimental of Nabokov's works. "Look at the Harlequins!" (1974), Nabokov's final novel, concerns Vadim Vadimovitch N., a novelist very much like Nabokov himself. This ironic, intricate hall of mirrors, startling in its shifts of tone & off-key echoes of Nabokov's earlier books, often blurs the line between the worlds of reality & literary invention. The texts presented in this volume incorporate Nabokov's penciled corrections in his own copies of his works & correct long-standing errors. They are the most authoritative versions available & have been prepared w/ the assistance of Dmitri Nabokov, the novelist's son, & Brian Boyd, Nabokov's distinguished biographer. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic). * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.
