"Nabokov has found at last a biographer worthy of him."---Walter
Kendrick, The New York Times Book Review
"[Boyd is] an inspired explicator. . . . In Vladimir Nabokov: The
American Years [Nabokov's] life and his art intertwine. They work
against each other almost as often as they work with each other,
and it takes a biographer as skilled as Brian Boyd to keep track of
every fascinating twist and turn."---Anne Tyler, The Atlantic
"A munificently detailed biography. . . . [Boyd has] put all
readers of Nabokov in his debt."---David Lodge, The Los Angeles
Times Book Review
