Item description from seller

Vladimir Nabokov Saw Rich Colors In Letters And Sounds And Noted The Deficiency Of Color In Literature, Praising Gogol As The First Russian Writer To Truly Appreciate Yellow And Violet. He Saw Q As Browner Than K, And S As Not The Light Blue Of C, But A Curious Mixture Of Azure And Mother-Of-Pearl. For Anyone Who Has Ever Wondered How The Colors Nabokov Heard Might Manifest Themselves Visually, Alphabet In Color Is A Remarkable Journey Of Discovery. Jean Holabird's Interpretation Of The Colored Alphabets Of One Of The Twentieth Century's Literary Greats Is A Revelation.
