Julian W. Connolly (Ph.D. Harvard University) is Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Virginia. He is the author of Nabokov's Early Fiction: Patterns of Self and Other (1992) and editor of Nabokov and His Fiction: New Perspectives (1999) and The Cambridge Companion to Nabokov (2005). He has published over sixty articles on Russian Literature.
"The importance of this book lies in the way it succinctly
summarizes critical viewpoints yet provides a fresh and accessible
interpretation of the novel… [Connolly] never claims to give a
definitive reading of the book, only to try to help readers "grasp
the full complexity and sweep of Nabokov's unique creation" (p.1),
which he admirably achieves."
