We revisit a classic this week. In the 1950s, Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov had to teach literature at Cornell University to make ends meet. He lectured on canonical European authors and his lectures were eventually collected into this book. Nabokov takes an eccentric, personalized approach to reading literature and we take a close look.
