A good view of smorov.
Nabokov‘s 4th novel was short one about sneakily watching your own closest friends. It was actually good fun. Playful, maybe a touch of Dostoyevsky‘s unstable narrator‘s, but gentler and with a twist.

A novella by a master.The tale of the Russian Emigre Smurov. A hero who departs the world and enters the realm of fantasy and imagination. We see him through the eyes of others, his identity ever shifting with a cast of emigres, secret agents, bankers, politicians, and various lovers.
This is Nabokov 4th novel written in 1930 and translated to English in 1965.
This novella contains that crisp prose that one finds later in Lolita and Pale Fire.
