Javier Aparicio Maydeu tackled in 2008 the critical edition of an iconic book by Nabokov, one of the great authors of universal literature. 10 years and 3 editions later, Cátedra includes this title in its new Biblioteca Cátedra del Siglo XX collection, for which the author has revised and expanded its original edition.
¡Mira los arlequines!, Vladimir Nabokov's latest novel, is a brilliant scale model of the author's literary universe, an irrefutable proof of his complex and eccentric talent and another example of how literature sneaks into life in a way that, without being aware, Nabokov's real life is more and more like a novel by Nabokov.
