Rarely does an autobiography rank among an author’s most important works, but Nabokov’s Speak, Memory represents more than a simple account of his life. The book focuses mainly on the author’s youth until his last year at Cambridge, then moves quickly through many years to 1940, when Nabokov left for America. Like his fictional works, Speak, Memory is filled with the rich language that made Nabokov so famous. Rather than providing an exhaustive summary of Nabokov’s life, Speak, Memory offers a collection of moving passages that depict significant moments and figures in his life with perfection.
