The Eye by Vladimir Nabokov
4.0
Nabokov‘s 4th novel is short one and this time it was good fun from the opening line. There is a playful sense to it, as the narrator, maybe with a touch of Dostoyevsky‘s instability, does an assortment of seeming ridiculous things, while he obsesses at spying on his closest friends. It has a clever structure. Nothing too profound, but a well crafted little book.
