Re: Query : Bend Sinister review
From
Date
Body
June 14, 1947
Abstract:
This article focuses on Vladimir Nabokov's new novel, "Bend Sinister," which is about a professor of philosophy in an unnamed country who is destroyed by the tyrannical government that has come to power. The author shares that the book has four successful moments and three moments of amusement. Author argues that it is Nabokov's elaborate prose method that persuades his publishers that "Bend Sinister" is so distinguished a work of fiction. Surely writing like this is elaborate chicanery. It is not daring; it is merely willful.

Subject: [NABOKV-L] Query : Bend Sinister review
Dear subscribers,
In 1947, when Bend Sinister was published in the US, Diana Trilling reviewed it in The Nation.
Would anyone know the exact date when the review appeared ?
Thank you !
