Glimpse Into the Mind of a Genius

Paper Summary:

This paper gives a brief history of the life of the author Vladimir Nabokov and analyzes its effect on his writings which are perceived to be semi-biographical. Vladimir Nabokov wrote about the world in which he lived, the first half of the twenty first century and the central theme of his works, death.

From the Paper:

"Nabokov's literary style builds rich characters in a short period of time. We get to know their inner thoughts with very few words. Nabokov gives us a brief, but in depth look into a particular moment in his character's lives. His style is soft and flowing until the very last sentence, when he very abruptly slips in a plot twist in the last line. "Revenge" and "Conversation Piece, 1945" are works which illustrate this style clearly."
