This book explores Vladimir Nabokov's literary thoughts, which blend Russian traditions, American values, European heritage, and multiculturalism, manifesting the cosmopolitan character of his writings and aesthetic ideas.Nabokov’s literary thoughts and writings inherit the legacies of various cultural traditions. This book explores four major facets of Nabokov’s intellectual and artistic origins: “Russianness,” “Americanness,” “Europeanness,” and multiculturalism. It discusses his affinity with major trends in twentieth-century literary theory, including Russian formalism, Bakhtinian poetics, New Criticism, aestheticism, psychoanalysis, feminism, postcolonialism, and cultural identity. It also shows how Nabokov developed these ideas in his own unique way. In addition, this study provides a cross-cultural overview of his reception and influence in China, comparing his works and thoughts with several Chinese authors. This further illustrates the “cosmopolitanism” of his literary thought and the inclusiveness of his concept of world literature. This study helps to better understand Nabokov’s ideas and writings in a broader context and also to discover innovative approaches to the communication, integration, and complementarity of Western and Eastern literatures and cultures.This book will appeal to literature scholars, students, and anyone interested in Nabokov studies, literary theory, American literature, world literature, and comparative literature.

This book examines contemporary American ethnic novels through the lens of affect studies, focusing on the political and cultural implications of negative affects in literary representation.Analyzing works by Native American, African American, Jewish American, Latinx, and Asian American writers since the Civil Rights era, it explores how affects such as anxiety, irritation, and alienation illuminate the predicaments of marginalized communities, including racial inequality, cultural erasure, and institutional discrimination. Drawing on affect theory, the book develops a nuanced approach to understanding the relationship between affect, politics, and literature. Through close readings of representative texts, it demonstrates that affects function not merely as personal feelings but as intuitive responses to structural contradictions and as expressions of a desire for emotional resonance and solidarity. Combining interdisciplinary theory with comparative literary analysis, the study argues that affective representation in ethnic novels helps construct “affective communities” grounded in shared experiences of marginalization and resistance. In doing so, it highlights literature’s potential to deepen empathy, challenge dominant narratives, and contribute to broader conversations about social justice in a multicultural society.The book will appeal to scholars and students of American literature, particularly those interested in race, culture, contemporary fiction, and ethnic novels.
