Vladimir Nabokov
The Real Life of Sebastian Knight
Norfolk, CT.: New Directions, 1959.
First edition thus.
First published in 1941, to enthusiastic reviews and virtually no sales, this is the now rare, later attempt to present one of Nabakov's more convoluted novels, on the heels of his runaway success with Lolita.
At his ironical best, he presents the story of a successful novelist's mysterious death and the rumours and scandals that need to be untangled to arrive at the truth.
Book has a little discoloration to spine gutter and unclipped jacket has very minor edgewear, otherwise excellent.
Hardcover.
