At the age of twenty-one, Brian Boyd wrote a thesis on Vladimir Nabokov that the famous author called ”brilliant.” After gaining exclusive access to the writer`s archives, he wrote a two-part, award-winning biography, Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years (1990) & Vladimir Nabokov: The American Years (1991). This collection features essays written by Boyd since completing the biography, incorporating material he gleaned from his research as well as new discoveries & formulations. Boyd confronts Nabokov`s life, career, & legacy; his art, science, & thought; his subtle humor & puzzle-like storytelling; his complex psychological portraits; & his inheritance from, reworking of, & affinities with Shakespeare, Pushkin, Tolstoy, & Machado de Assis. Boyd offers new ways of reading Nabokov`s best English-language works: Lolita, Pale Fire, Ada, & the unparalleled autobiography, Speak, Memory, & he discloses otherwise unknown information about the author`s world. Sharing his personal reflections, Boyd recounts the adventures, hardships, & revelations of researching Nabokov`s biography & his unusual finds in the archives, including materials still awaiting publication. The first to focus on Nabokov`s metaphysics, Boyd cautions against their being used as the key to unlock all of the author`s secrets, showing instead the many other rooms in Nabokov`s castle of fiction that need exploring, such as his humor, narrative invention, & psychological insight into characters & readers alike. Appreciating Nabokov as novelist, memoirist, poet, translator, scientist, & individual, Boyd helps us understand more than ever the author`s multifaceted genius. ...

The Irish-American physicist, academic & traveller John Freely wrote more than sixty lively books on travel, history & science before he died in 2017, aged 90. But It was Istanbul, where he emigrated with his family in 1960 to take up a post teaching physics at the American Robert College, that turned him into a writer. His first book, ` Strolling Through Istanbul`
- written with his fellow academic Hilary Sumner-Boyd
- was an instant success when it was published in 1972 & has never been out of print since. With the exception of Oguz, so thin that he was known as The Ghost because he barely cast a shadow, everyone in John Freely`s rumbustious memoir, including the author himself, is larger than life. Bohemian Istanbul was a haven for myriad misfits who found their feet in the city. Clamorous, glamorous, eccentric, cosmopolitan & frequently outrageous, they included the `berserker` Peter Pfeiffer, a resourceful exile with three passports; Aliye Berger, the beautiful queen of bohemian Pera; the writer James Baldwin &, fleetingly, the future Pope John XXIII. This elegy for a lost world encapsulates the flavour of their daily life & nightly excesses. Well lubricated with lemon vodka & Hill Cocktails served by Sumner-Boyd`s gloomy housekeeper, ` Monik Depressive`, the Freely crowd weave their way from the Galatasaray fish market & the taverns of Cicek Pasaji to the Russian restaurant Rejans, & frequently on to the Freely household on the Bosphorus hills, where a party will soon be in full swing & eggnog flowing freely. ` Stamboul Ghosts` is lllustrated with Ara Guler`s poignant black-&-white photographs, which make of Freely`s beloved city an evocative stage-set.

Throughout the 1960`s John Freely & Hilary Sumner-Boyd explored every alley, cove & monument of their adopted home of Istanbul in between their teaching jobs. They created a legendary guidebook, covering 1, 500 years of Byzantine & Ottoman architecture, to a city that was still innocent of tourists. But the passages that were too personal, too capricious, too idiosyncratic, too indulgent of eccentric personalities, too melancholically obsessed with lost monuments, too wrapped up in the love of mid-afternoon banter, too indulgent of musicians, dancers, gypsies, dervish, drunks, beggars, fishermen, poets, fortune-tellers, folk healers, mimics & prostitutes were cut from their scholarly guidebook. Stamboul Sketches is a slim book compiled from these editorial floor off-cuts. Inspired by travelling in the footsteps of Evliya Celebi, the Puck-like Pepys who wrote about 17th century Istanbul, Stamboul Sketches is a beautiful, quirky portrait of a city caught like a bird on the wing, so much changed but so much the same. ...
