Gavriel Shapiro is Professor in the Department of Russian at Cornell University. He is the author of Nikolai Gogol and the Baroque Cultural Heritage and Delicate Markers: Subtexts in Vladimir Nabokov's 'Invitation to a Beheading.'

"Dimitri Nabokov's meditation on the family's Cornell years, a period in which his father was extraordinarily productive, constitutes an ideal postscript for the volume. In it, he manages to be both witty and profoundly moving, the former when he speaks of the labor involved in fending off those who seek to profit unfairly from Nabokov's books, the latter when he tells of the love that has kept him to it."
