The Magician’s Doubts: Nabokov and the Risks of Fiction is a 1994 book by literary critic Michael Wood that analyzes the works of author Vladimir Nabokov, focusing on themes of language, illusion, and the author’s experience as an exile. Wood explores the blend of arrogance and vulnerability in Nabokov’s writing, arguing that the author’s mastery of fiction is tied to his use of language and his personal history, particularly his move from Russian to English.
