Pale Fire; Conclusion: Nabokov and the Silver Age of Russian Culture; notes, works cited, index. "A major reexamination of the novelist Vladimir Nabokov as "literary gamesman," this book systematically shows that behind his ironic manipulation of narrative and his puzzle-like treatment of detail there lies an aesthetic rooted in his intuition of a transcendent realm and in his consequent redefinition of 'nature' and 'artifice, as synonyms. Beginning with Nabokov's discursive writings, the author finds his world view centered on the experience of epiphany -- characterized by a sudden fusion of varied sensory data and memories, a feeling of timelessness, and an intuition of immortality -- which grants the true artist intimations of an 'otherworld'".
