Ooo, I liked this one a lot. Nabokov is a master of prose, I read some of these sentences over and over, revelling in the syntax. This plot was short and punchy although the blurb spoilt the twist for me. I want to re-read this as I'm sure there are clever philosophies that I missed the first time around. A new must read author!
