Speak, Memory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Speak, Memory (ISBN 0375405534) is an autobiographical memoir by writer Vladimir Nabokov. Its fifteen chapters were published serially in The New Yorker between 1948 and 1950. The first 12 chapters describe Nabokov's youth in an aristocratic family living in pre-revolutionary Saint Petersburg. The remainder of the book recounts his years at Cambridge and as part of the Russian émigré community in Berlin and Paris. It was first published in a single volume in 1951 (under the title Conclusive Evidence in the United States). An extended edition including several photographs was published in 1966 as Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited.
