Kritik
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 1992 "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 Reviewmehr
