Andrew Field once called biography a "sorry genre," yet he later praised its "unexplored potential." Field's exploration of the genre includes three books on Vladimir Nabokov, each of which implies a different perspective on the nature, use, and worth of literary biography and dramatizes Field's shifting relationship to his biographical subject
