Beschreibung
[headline]The first in-depth study of Vladimir Nabokov's humour, investigating its physical aspects such as farce, slapstick, sexual and scatological humour Many critics classify Vladimir Nabokov as a highbrow humourist, a refined wordsmith overly fond of playful puzzles, private in-jokes and arcane allusions whose art appeals primarily to an intellectually-sophisticated readership. This study presents a more balanced portrait, placing equal emphasis on the exuberant, earthier humour that is such a marked feature of Nabokov's writing, a humour which draws on the human body and all things physical for its laughs: sex and scatology, farce and slapstick. Moving between the metaphysical and the physical, the cosmic and the comic, mind and matter, Grant presents Nabokov as a writer at home in both high and low forms of humour, a comedian who is capable of producing as many belly laughs as brainteasers, and can appeal to a much broader readership than is commonly supposed. [bio]Paul Benedict Grant is an Associate Professor of English at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. In addition to his many publications on Nabokov's humour, he has written on humour in the work of Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor and is co-editor of Carver Across the Curriculum: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Teaching the Fiction and Poetry of Raymond Carver (2011).
