Considering Vladimir Nabokov's aesthetic precepts and practice, and the distinctive character of his work, this book also considers his fiction in the larger context of the modernist and postmodernist enterprise. It analyzes the novels' challenges to all sorts of aesthetic and moral presumptions (including some of Nabokov's own). Readers are thus encouraged to draw their own conclusions about the issues raised in his work.
