Set design for the Ballets Russes
By Paul Russell, Berkeley, CA, Cleis Press, 2011
A wonderful novel about Nabokov's younger, gay brother set in Berlin, St. Petersburg, and Paris. The story offers a whirlwind tour of early modernism with Diaghilev, Cocteau, Gertrude Stein, and Alice B. Toklas all making appearances. This book is great fun and captures the heady parade of early 20th century European culture.
