A dying man cautiously unravels the mysteries of memory and creation. Vadim is a Russian emigre who, like Nabokov, is a novelist, poet and critic. There are threads linking the fictional hero with his creator as he reconstructs the images of his past from young love to his serious illness. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Look at the Harlequins! (Twentieth Century Classics) (Vladimir Nabokov)
