Freeking brilliant writing from Nabokov. His best work. I read laughter in the dark first and I was hooked. Lolita I feel is just. Overrated. But I love how he’s a bad narrator and you can’t count on his words because his actions are horrific. He’s not reliable. And ada novel, Nabokov included the name Flora on one minor character if I recall. It’s a throwback to another work he did. I think it was unfinished. But wow! Never met someone who mentions that book ever. Even my librarian

    Nabokov is so full of references and clever jokes, he was a mad genius. I love Lolita too but it’s definitely not what I would recommend anyone read first.
