Speak, Memory is divided into fifteen chapters and each chapter has multiple numbered sections, like a list. The autobiography unfolds chronologically from Nabokov’s earliest memories until his early adulthood in 1939. Some chapters read like lists with tangential asides when Nabokov recounts an interesting or poignant memory.
