Images - Hitchcock/Nabokov
Essay from Images Journal by James A Davidson comparing the work of the director with the Russian author.
http://www.imagesjournal.com/issue03/features/hitchnab1.htm

Extractions: by James A. Davidson I t is a tendency of criticism to try to shed light on the work of one artist by comparing and contrasting that artist's work to that of another. Alfred Hitchcock, for instance, is usually mentioned in the same breath with Cornell Woolrich, the literary 'master of suspense,' at least partly due to the fact that Hitchcock did such a memorable job bringing Woolrich's novella to the screen as Rear Window Lolita in 1962 based on Nabokov's screenplay). Alfred Appel, Jr. has described the world of Nabokov's novels as "Nabokov's Puppet Show," emphasizing the author's masterful control of artifice and imagination ; so too has recent Hitchcock criticism focused the director's uncanny ability to assert a strong authorial voice throughout virtually all of his films. Thus, it is not surprising that Hitchcock envisioned himself playing the emotions of his audience in a movie theater on a giant organ just as Nabokov, the puppet master, pulled the strings in his novels so brilliantly. I believe Nabokov's complex word play, parodic self-references and manipulation of language is the literary equivalent to Hitchcock's well-known mastery of "the language of cinematic images," which he discussed frequently in interviews. While there were vast differences between the lives of Hitchcock and Nabokov, there were also some profound similarities that I feel shed some light on their careers and work. To begin with, Hitchcock and Nabokov came from substantially different backgrounds. Hitchcock's father was a London wholesale grocer and young Alfred grew up in a stable but distinctly middle class home. Nabokov's father was an intellectual, a member of Russia's ruling class and part of the provisional government first established after the revolution. Vladimir Nabokov grew up in a privileged environment that stressed academics (a colleague of Nabokov's father wrote of the baby Vladimir: "I had the impression that this would be an extremely abnormal upbringing in fatally over-abundant circumstances")

It is one of the funniest serious novels I have ever read; and the vision of its abominable hero, who never deludes or excuses himself, brings into grotesque relief the cant, the vulgarity, and the hypocritical conventions that pervade the human comedy." - Charles Rolo, Atlantic Monthly
BerlinOnline: Vladimir Nabokov: Gesammelte Werke Band III
Buchbesprechung von Gustav Falke.

Extractions: Vladimir Nabokov: Gesammelte Werke Band III. Herausgegeben von Dieter E. Zimmer: Gelächter im Dunkel. Verzweiflung. Camera obscura. Frühe Romane 3, Rowohlt, Reinbek 1997, 813 S., 58 Mark Schönheit, Blindheit: Frühe Romane von Vladimir Nabokov, aber was ist schon früh? von Gustav Falke M it "Gelächter im Dunkel" und "Verzweiflung" erscheint im Rahmen der neuen Werkausgabe der dritte und letzte Teil von Nabokovs "frühen" Romanen. "Frühe Romane", das klingt ganz unschuldig. Sie sind eben früher als die späteren geschrieben. Aber warum wird fast die Hälfte des Gesamtwerks den "frühen", dagegen nur die beiden Romane nach "Ada" den "späten" Romanen zugeordnet? Im Anhang wird die russische Uhrfassung von "Gelächter im Dunkeln", "Camera obscura", abgedruckt. Man kann also Nabakov beim Überarbeiten beobachten, und der Herausgeber Dieter E. Zimmer tut das auch. Der vorausgreifende Film finde sich in der Urfassung noch nicht (was nicht ganz stimmt, nur die Autoszene findet sich nicht, der später "Maskierte" dagegen tappt hier sogar "blindlings" auf die Frau zu). Diese "nabokovschste" der verschiedenen Änderungen weise "auf jenen rekursiven Zug voraus, der Nabokovs künftige Romane so unverwechselbar machen sollte." Das ist es also. Der eigentliche Nabokov ist der rekursive oder geradezu beim modischen Namen genannt: der selbstreferentielle Nabokov. Welt aus Hundeaugen Am Ende steht hinter dem Lob der Konstruktion immer eine Verachtung des Beobachtens. Der Realismus gilt als mindere Kunstform. Nabokov dagegen hat viel Wert auf die Genaugkeit der Milieustudien gelegt, auf die erdrückende Behaglichkeit von Albinus' Familienleben, auf Margots Prostituiertenkarriere, auf den arbeitslosen deutschgesonnenen Bruder Otto. (Auch "Lolita" ist nicht zuletzt ein Amerikaroman.) Und Nabokov hat geradezu mit Artistenehrgeiz Bewußtseinsformen nachgebildet. In "König, Dame, Bube" geht das bis zur Beschreibung der Welt aus der Sicht eines Hundes. Hier interessiert ihn die Blindheit. Draußen klappert das Frühstück, Albinus zieht den Verband hoch, wieso ist es immer noch dunkel? Warum leuchtet die Uhr nicht? Er will ein Streichholz anzünden, verbrennt sich ... Dann die Übelkeit in der Eisenbahn, weil er die Geräusche nicht mit Bewegungen zusammenbringen kann. Später das schrittweise Sich-Ablösen von der visuellen Orientierung, die Verfeinerung des Gehörs.

A Contrapuntal Theme
Quotations from vladimir nabokov and Dorothy Sayers reflect one another in a pattern suggesting (as in John Shade's remarks in Pale Fire) life after death.

Extractions: In Nabokov's Pale Fire (1962) a poet, John Shade, has a vision during a near-death experience. He later reads an article about a woman who had the same near-death vision, of a "tall white fountain." He contacts the article's author, hoping to find out more about this evidence of life after death, but finds that the word "fountain" was a misprint. Shade writes: He took his article from a steel file:
NABOKOV
By Mary Gaitskill.
http://www.salon.com/12nov1995/feature/nabokov.html

Extractions: By MARY GAITSKILL I n an interview, Vladimir Nabokov was once asked to comment on the popular authorial truism that one's fictional characters can sometimes "take over" and dictate to the author the course of a story. In his supercilious dismissal of this whimsical idea, Nabokov described his characters as "galley slaves" a comment exuding the playful, haughty spirit that drove (and still drives) some critics nuts. Such critics condemn Nabokov's authorial voice as elitist, inhuman and finally cruel. And that is an assessment his "slaves" might well agree with, subjected as they were to excruciating and ridiculous fates delineated in exquisite language and sparkling, albeit twisted, comic narratives. To a reader with a defensive turn of mind who is waiting to be told how to live or to be shown the Truth in a piece of fiction, the ruthless and rigorous complexity of Nabokov's work may seem cruel simply because it does not offer either of these services. Some readers apparently interpret the very beauty of his prose as cruel and there is a hyper-refinement, an airy, curiously high-pitched quality to its beauty that can feel cruel simply because it throws the whole beastly, mundane, plodding corporeality of human beings into such grotesque relief. Through this Apollonian oeuvre there frolic countless tiny nymphets most famously, Lolita Haze, with her dim eyes and big, bright mouth, her narrow-shouldered, hipless, insouciant grace. And therein also stump Mrs. Haze and her 30-ish sisters, with their gross emotional needs, their dumpy legs, their ghastly hips and boobs, the unbeautiful human personified with a fastidious shudder.

You might be wondering, "Why'd you pick that slut Leni to host your page?" Well, yes, she is a little cock-crazy, but there's more to her than that. To start with, I like her raw carnality, as brought into Joseph K.'s cold, unfeeling, sterile world. [Footsteps in background. Angry male voice.] "You stupid whore! I thought this was going to be the tryouts for Leni Does Prague ! Not this book stuff! What a ripoff!" [Door slamming.] Before we were so rudely interrupted, I'd just like to say. . . Well, what can you say about a man who lived at home until he was 40 (more or less), despite difficult relations with his father, had a crappy job, tried to pass himself off as a slacker (claiming he did nothing but sit around and accomplished next to nothing, cf. the Letter to his Father ), was teminally depressed, believed he was an utter failure (according to his father's standards), and proved to be one of the greatest writers of the 20th century (even if against his own wishes)?

Extractions: ladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov was born on April 23, 1899, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Nabokovs were known for their high culture and commitment to public service, and the elder Nabokov was an outspoken opponent of antisemitism and one of the leaders of the opposition party, the Kadets. In 1919, following the Bolshevik revolution, he took his family into exile. Four years later he was shot and killed at a political rally in Berlin while trying to shield the speaker from right-wing assassins. The Nabokov household was trilingual, and as a child Nabokov was already reading Wells, Poe, Browning, Keats, Flaubert, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Tolstoy, and Chekhov, alongside the popular entertainments of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Jules Verne. As a young man, he studied Slavic and romance languages at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking his honors degree in 1922. For the next eighteen years he lived in Berlin and Paris, writing prolifically in Russian under the pseudonym Sirin and supporting himself through translations, lessons in English and tennis, and by composing the first crossword puzzles in Russian. In 1925 he married Vera Slonim, with whom he had one child, a son, Dmitri. Having already fled Russia and Germany, Nabokov became a refugee once more in 1940, when he was forced to leave France for the United States. There he taught at Wellesley, Harvard, and Cornell. He also gave up writing in Russian and began composing fiction in English. In his afterword to

Extractions: Quickshot - Schnellschuß vom 03.11.2001 Quickshot-Index Filmtitel: Lolita Jahr der Veröffentlichung: Regie: Adrian Lyne Buch: Stephen Schiff Literarische Vorlage: Vladimir Nabokovs Roman Lolita von 1955 Hauptdarsteller: Jeremy Irons (Humbert Humbert), Dominique Swain (Lolita), Melanie Griffith (Charlotte Haze), Frank Langella (Clare Quilty) Humbert Humbert (J. Irons) und Lolita (D. Swain) Nabokovs Buch, das wegen des skandalösen Themas der obsessiven sexuellen Beziehung eines erwachsenen Mannes zu einer Minderjährigen zunächst von keinem amerikanischen Verlag angerührt worden war, wurde schließlich in Paris von Olympia Press herausgebracht, fand aber erst Beachtung, als der britische Schriftsteller Graham Greene es als einen der drei besten Romane von 1955 pries. In der Folge entwickelte sich das Werk zu einem Bestseller mit einer Auflage von mittlerweile über 14 Millionen, das seinem ältlichen Autor (1899-1977) Weltruhm und finanzielle Unabhängigkeit brachte. Eine erste Verfilmung erschien 1962 (Regie Stanley Kubrick, Buch von Nabokov und Kubrick, Hauptdarsteller James Mason, Sue Lyon, Shelley Winters und Peter Sellers); dieser Film ist mir nicht bekannt. Was den Film genau wie das Buch auszeichnet, ist die beklemmende und anrührende Darstellung einer Beziehung zweier Menschen, die ganz eindeutig nicht füreinander bestimmt sind und die trotzdem eine übermächtige Faszination verbindet. Lolita ist zwar letztendlich Opfer, laviert sich jedoch durch ziemlich eindeutige Koketterie, Faszination am Spiel mit dem Feuer und auch Genuss von Machtausübung in eine langwierige Hassliebesbeziehung hinein, der sie erst durch einen Pakt mit einem weit perverseren Zeitgenossen (dem pädophilen Schriftsteller Clare Quilty) entkommt Austreibung des Teufels durch Beelzebub.

Extractions: Quilty: Frank Langella Nel suo fondamentale "Amore e morte nel romanzo americano" (1960), Leslie Fiedler afferma che "Lolita" è " l'estrema bestemmia contro la mitica innocenza della donna e della bambina, bestemmia più che sufficientemente sacrilega agli occhi di un periodo tormentato dalla paura che, dopo tutto, una simile innocenza possa essere esistita, e che, sotterrata chissà mai dove, possa esistere ancora": è questo il motivo, secondo il geniale saggista, dello scandalo provocato nella sonnacchiosa America degli anni '50 dall'uscita del libro (che, ricordiamolo per inciso, nessuno negli Stati Uniti volle pubblicare e venne infine edito nel 1955 a Parigi dall'Olympia Press). A giudicare dalle isteriche reazioni causate dalla nuova versione cinematografica (la prima, firmata da Stanley Kubrick, risale al 1962) in patria ed anche da noi, i tempi non sono poi troppo cambiati: la pedofilofobia imperante ha generato intolleranza fino al punto da voler mettere la mordacchia a chiunque voglia trattare certi temi.

http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/nabokov_vladimir_lolita.htm

Extractions: Eigentlich war Humbert Humbert schon als er vom Bahnhof abgeholt wurde der festen Überzeugung, keinen Tag länger als unbedingt notwendig in Ramsdale zu verbringen. Der erste Eindruck von seinem Quartier bestätigt ihn nur darin; doch dann sieht er sie. Dolores Haze, 12 Jahre alt - und ein richtiges Nymphchen. Sie sieht aus wie das Mädchen, das er einst liebte, als er selbst in diesem Alter war - und seither war sein Verlangen nach diesen Kindern, die in ihrer Unschuld doch schon so aufreizend waren, nie mehr erloschen. Eine Gelegenheit wie diese - darauf hatte er ewig gewartet. Ein Kind, so nah, das er ansehen konnte, das ganz unbefangen im Badeanzug, im Schlafanzug vor ihm spielte - und ihn dann doch auch immer wieder mit diesem Blick ansieht - eine himmlische Situation. Wenn nur die Mutter nicht wäre, die immer in den unpassendsten Momenten nach seiner Aufmerksamkeit verlangt. Und die ganz unbewusst in einen Wettstreit mit ihrer Tochter tritt.

http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_vladimir_nabokov.html

Extractions: Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov, most famous as the author of Lolita , was born on or about April 23, 1899 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The eldest of five children, he grew up with his wealthy and aristocratic family, moving between the family's two homes (one in St. Petersburg, and an estate fifty miles to the south in the countryside). He enjoyed playing tennis and soccer in his youth, but also spent many hours chasing and collecting butterflies, a passion he apparently learned from his father. Russia was under the rule of Tsar Nicholas II at this time. Nabokov's father, Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov, was a known and respected, and at times controversial, liberal politician. He was imprisoned in 1908 for ninety days because he signed a political manifesto. Nabokov's mother, Elena Ivanova, raised the three boys and two girls in aristocratic fashion, using several governesses and tutors who taught the children French and English, along with Russian. In 1911 Nabokov entered the highly regarded Tenishev School. He was described as an arrogant and conceited student who came to school each day in the family's Rolls-Royce. He wrote his first poem at the age of 15 and privately published two books of poetry before leaving the school. This amazing childhood ended with the Bolshevik revolution and the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. Political unrest forced the Nabokov family to leave Russia for England in 1919. Nabokov and his brother subsequently enrolled at Cambridge University, where Nabokov majored in French and Russian literature.
