Description
A chance encounter with an old admirer, Dolly von Borg, reawakens Prince V.V. Blonsky’s (VVB!) past and sets his carefully arranged memories into motion. In a novel that moves through recollection and reinvention, Nabokov follows the White Russian prince as his life unfolds in vivid episodes—part romance, part self-examination, and part performance of identity. With his signature precision and sly, theatrical intelligence, the story explores desire, nostalgia, and the uneasy ways time reshapes both love and selfhood. Brimming with Nabokov’s distinctive wit and stylistic control, it is a bold, late work that turns intimacy into a lens for art, memory, and the stories people tell to survive their own histories.
