Descriere
The Real Life of Sebastian Knight is one of Vladimir Nabokov's most autobiographical novels. Sebastian's affair with Nina Rechnoy seems to be an extension of Nabokov's infatuation with Irina Guadanini. The novel also conceals a love affair Sebastian had with a man, reflecting an episode in the life of Nabokov's brother Sergey.

Recenzii
“Gerard de Vries’ Silent Love, a new study of Vladimir Nabokov’s The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, offers a stimulating analysis of Nabokov’s first novel written in English. This study makes two significant contributions to the existing body of criticism devoted to the novel. First, he has provided a detailed set of annotations that illuminate a broad range of literary, historical, and cultural allusions. Second, he provides a new theory for understanding the enigmatic conduct of the title character, the writer Sebastian Knight. This book will prove useful for any reader and student of Nabokov’s work.”
“With Silent Love, Gerard de Vries presents the first annotated study of one of Nabokov’s most opaque works. Insightful and illuminating, Silent Love details the novel’s carefully-wrought patterning of allusion to reveal not only its extraordinary complexity, but also the extent of its interpretive possibilities, even offering an original and provocative solution to the puzzle that lies at its heart—the inscrutable and enigmatic Sebastian Knight.”
"Gerard de Vries offers an elegant and persuasive plea for the act of annotation ... [The Real Life of Sebastian Knight] seems to call out for the kind of scholarship and detective work already richly devoted to Lolita and Ada. This is precisely what de Vries provides. After a long chapter of notes on specific textual moments, he presents three chapters of comment on motifs in the novel, centering on questions of narrative, identity, and 'death and beyond.'"
“A strength of de Vries’ book is that he does not insistthat his interpretation is definitive or prescriptive. He offers it as anexample of Nabokov’s effort to inscribe multiplicity and indeterminacy into hisworks, producing a novel with more than one successful solution. … For thosewishing to dive past the wind-rippled surface of The Real Life of Sebastian Knight into its murky depths, de Vries’book will be an exciting, thought-provoking adventure.” —Stephen H.

This comprehensive analysis offers a very close reading of the text that proves to be particularly revealing in terms of Nabokov’s method. … After giving essential background information on the genesis of the novel, … de Vries illuminates its extraordinary complexity. His insightful comments unveil the scope of the novel’s references and allusions.
