“One is always at home in one's past": Vladimir Nabokov's Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited

First revised edition of Nabokov's autobiography. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. An exceptional example.

Speak, Memory, first published in 1951 as Conclusive Evidence and then assiduously revised in 1966, is an elegant and rich evocation of Nabokov's life and times, even as it offers incisive insights into his major works, including Lolita, Pnin, Despair, The Gift, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, and The Defense.
