After Knight's death, his half brother sets out to penetrate the enigma of his life, starting with a few scanty clues in the novelist's private papers. His search proves to be a story as intriguing as any of his subject's own novels, as baffling, and, in the end, as uniquely rewarding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Nabokov writes prose the only way it should be written, that is, ecstatically.\" -John Updike\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"The Real Life of Sebastian Knight | Vladimir Nabokov | Paperback | 9780679727262 | New | Fiction 1693411","offer_id":50817001193730,"sku":"1693411","price":30.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71jdEh7nbNL.jpg?v=1792501889","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/the-real-life-of-sebastian-knight","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
