If you enjoy reading Nabokov, I would like to call attention to my recently published book. Published by Lexington Books (Rowman & Littlefield), the title is: Redeeming Words and the Promise of Happiness: A Critical Theory Approach to Wallace Stevens and Vladimir Nabokov. In a nutshell, my argument is, first, that language is, as such, in its very existence, the bearer, the vehicle, for the utopian "promise of happiness" (Stendahl's "promesse de bonheur"), and that in the way that they use language, creating all kinds of word-plays, language is a mimetic anticipation of that promise of happiness, because in their word-plays, the two senses of "sense," namely sensuous sense and cognitive sense, are working together for aesthetic effect, hence in a moment of reconciliation that anticipates, or at least keeps alive the hope for, the dream of a greater, larger reconciliation involving all the antagonisms and contradictions that society today suffers from. I also show how Nab okov creates and then destroys narrative structures, revealing, as if inspired by Mallarmé, the white paper and printer's ink that are the material, sensuous substratum of the narrative. Thus, as we readers face the surface upon which his writing creates an enchanting narrative structure that the narrative's own reflexivity stunningly erases before our very eyes, reducing the fiction to its material conditions of possibility, we are reminded of the artifice in literature—a dialectical process of enchantment, disenchantment, and, when we realize that it's all the magic of literature, we once again experience enchantment, but now, an enchantment that understands and has been enriched by the dialectic of reading.
