Title: Nabokov at the movies
Description: "This book situates Nabokov within America's literary and cinematic traditions and offers a comparative analysis of Nabokov's literature. The purpose is to explore how movies and books of the same period relate to, and sometimes influenced, his writing. Nabokov's early Russian fiction shows the influence of experimental German and Soviet film.

His English work echoes contemporary American film from screwball comedy to the Hollywood images that combined to become Lolita - part femme fatale, part fugitive moll, part screwball heroine."--Jacket.
