This is a miscellany of essays, reviews, interviews and letters by Vladimir Nabokov arranged chronologically. He always asked for interview questions ahead of time and wrote out the answers -- so don't expect any spontaneous, off-the-cuff remarks. I found the book reviews the most interesting because he gives such wonderful examples of what he finds reprehensible in a given work--often Soviet works that no one has ever heard of. Makes me curious about the authors he does find worth reading. I'd recommend this book for those interested in Nabokov's thoughts on writing and writers, and what he thought his best work is.

'Masterly, hilarious, truly insightful.' - Philip Hensher, The Spectator A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2019 The last major collection of Nabokov's published material, Think, Write, Speak brings together a treasure trove of previously uncollected texts from across the author's extraordinary career. Each phase of his wandering life is included, from a precocious essay written while still at Cambridge in 1921, through his fame in the aftermath of the publication of Lolita to the final, fascinating interviews given shortly before his death in 1977. Introduced and edited by his biographer Brian Boyd, this is an essential work for anyone who has been drawn into Nabokov's literary orbit. Here he is at his most inspirational, curious, playful, misleading and caustic. The seriousness of his aesthetic credo, his passion for great writing and his mix of delight and dismay at his own, sudden global fame in the 1950s are all brilliantly delineated.
