The Real Life of Sebastian Knight
''The Real Life of Sebastian Knight'' is the first English novel by Vladimir Nabokov, written from late 1938 to early 1939, and published in 1941 by New Directions Publishers.
==Composition==
Nabokov's first major work in English was composed in Paris while the author sat in the bathroom, his valise set across a bidet as a writing desk.〔Vladimir Nabokov and Edmund Wilson, ''Dear Bunny, Dear Volodya: The Nabokov–Wilson Letters, 1940–1971'', Berkeley: University of California Press, 2001. p. 57. (Nabokov writes Wilson on October 21, 1941, "I am very happy that you liked that little book. As I think I told you, I wrote it five years ago, in Paris, on the implement called ''bidet'' as a writing desk — because we lived in one room and I had to use our small bathroom as a study. There is another fishy "as" in that sentence. You are quite write about the slips. There are many clumsy expressions and foreignish mannerisms that I noticed myself when reading the book again after five years had passed; but if I started correcting them I would rewrite the whole thing.")〕 Nabokov retreated into the washroom to write.
