The Enchanter : Nabokov and Happiness

Lila Azam Zanganeh

'Happiness writes white - it doesn't show up on the page,’ said Henri de Montherlant. This is an aphorism that sounds true but isn't, and the work of Vladimir Nabokov, as Lila Azam Zanganeh so lightly and elegantly shows us, is its great disproof. Her book is a joyful study of the joy that inspired all of Nabokov's art. A beautiful little book which, flitting here and there like the great man's beloved butterflies, delightfully succeeds in netting the butterfly hunter.Salman Rushdie

A lucid and joyful account of the great master's art, written with all the playfulness that the subject deserves. Very delightful. Orhan Pamuk
