Mira los arlequines!

Front Cover
Cátedra, 2001 - Divorced men - 295 pages
Mira los arlequines! es la ultima novela que Nabokov (1899-1977) publico. Escrita a la manera de una confesion o autobiografia, el personaje central nos cuenta la historia de sus matrimonios, viajes y distintas estancias por diversos lugares de Europa y Estados Unidos, para finalmente confesarnos las repetidas y continuas muertes de sus varias esposas. Autobiografia deliciosamente misogina y al mismo tiempo reelaboracion del mito de Barba Azul, se erige como el epilogo a una obra insuperable y genial en cada una de sus partes.
