Resumen
Este artículo aborda el papel de la mujer, el pasado y el exilio en la narración breve de Nabokov. Se explicará cómo Vladimir Nabokov utiliza la figura femenina para representar su Rusia perdida y para dar rienda suelta a sus sentimientos de nostalgia. Los relatos de Nabokov, especialmente los primeros, muestran la pérdida y la soledad de los expatriados rusos. Sin embargo, el autor acaba cambiando su actitud Así, se ofrecen diferentes ejemplos de su producción posterior en los que el autor ironiza sobre algunos motivos literarios, especialmente relacionados con personajes femeninos, para distanciarse de sus sentimientos de pérdida. Se muestra cómo Nabokov utiliza hábilmente las figuras femeninas para crear problemas y acertijos literarios que el lector deberá resolver en sus relatos. Al final, el artículo arroja luz sobre cómo las figuras femeninas se asocian con la problematización de las convenciones literarias como una forma de explorar diferentes posibilidades ficcionales en los últimos relatos de Vladimir Nabokov.
