Vladimir Nabokov art and design history and literature lit culture and society Saul Steinberg
Just a few days after Nabokov’s death, there was an invasion of butterflies out in Springs, Long Island. It probably happens every year. But the reason I noticed the butterflies this time was the presence—or the absence—of Nabokov. Saul Steinberg’s portraits and landscapes. Complement with the story of Nabokov’s love of butterflies.
