Stephens was 22 when he took a vacation from his drawing board and, with his father and brother Rod as crew members, astounded the blue-water racers by skippering his 52-ft. yawl Dorade to victory in a transatlantic race to England. The experience helped him go on to design deep-keeled, fast cruising yawls with flashy racing lines, such as Baruna and Bolero, and the shallow-keeled, sturdy Finisterre, that came to dominate blue-water racing against schooners and ketches...

But since Nabokov is an accomplished literary marksman, these short stories are on target, and several are bull's-eyes. The targets are strikingly varied: a pair of Siamese twins, each of whom must be his brother's keeper; a frustrated lepidopterist; a White Russian general playing triple agent in the Paris of the '205.
