Later he might recall Mary... «Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years»
Later he might recall Mary as mere nostalgic indulgence, but back in 1925 he had taken great pains to construct a novel of exile. Ganin's yearning for Mary becomes a personalized image of the emigre dream, the hope of reliving and resuming the happiness of remembered Russia.
