It is a short novel about a curious Russian academic teaching in an American college, somewhat similar to Nabokov’s own life. Nabokov’s prose is enjoyable as always. He pokes fun at these intellectual immigrants but is sympathetic to their strange life in a strange land. But I could not get out much more. I considered stopping midway, but the sunk cost fallacy won. Besides, I had just given up Master and Margarita after a third just before this book and I did not want to anger Russian authors even more.
