This is only my third Nabokov but he is definitely one of my favorite authors, and has been ever since I read Lolita. I've never read anyone who masters language like he does, and if anyone can get me hooked on upper-class misogynistic dinner parties and absurd love triangles, it's him. Nabokov himself describes it as his "gayest" novel in the introduction. Not the kind of gay we like, but still, I always love reading authors' own favorites.
