Most interesting in Stegner's chosen material is his approach to Pale Fire, which focuses more on the poem by John Shade rather than Kinbote's posthumous analysis, as well as his reluctance to agree with other critics that Pale Fire is a 'great work of art' rather than, as he puts it, "over-composed and over-controlled - Nabokov's Finnigans Wake." He also pushes against the common belief that Lolita is primarily an exercise in word games and puzzles, as he points out that this ignores the greater talent and artistry at work, and eludes to part of this distraction being the motivation of many critics to focus more on defending the work from claims of pornography and deviancy than actually critiquing the work as a whole.
Overall, Stegner's critical study of Nabokov is highly insightful and informational, and a must-read for anybody interested in a better understanding of Nabokov's work.… (més)
