Dana Dragunoiu

Dana Dragunoiu is a renowned scholar and Professor of English at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Specializing in 20th-century literature, Dragunoiu’s primary focus is the works of Vladimir Nabokov, and she has made significant contributions to Nabokov studies. Through her scholarly work, Dragunoiu has provided a nuanced understanding of Nabokov’s fusion of art, politics, and morality, helping to clarify his literary genius and philosophical outlook.

This, perhaps, captures Nabokov’s lasting magic: his prose possesses an irrepressible gaiety, a profound belief in the sheer joy of existence within this glittering, enigmatic world. While his work confronts, condemns, and mourns history’s tragedies, it never relinquishes its faith in beauty, goodness, and, above all, delight.
