Art in Doubt - Tolstoy, Nabokov, and the Problem of Other Minds

Riassunto

Tolstoy and Nabokov seem to have sharply conflicting ideas about the purpose of literature. Tatyana Gershkovich undermines this familiar opposition by identifying a shared fear at the root of their seemingly antithetical aesthetics: that one’s experience of the world might be entirely one’s own, private and impossible to share through art.
