so-soThis was a tough read. It seemed clear until I realized I was getting lost. And most of it is a narrator talking crazy, which gets tiresome. There is complexity and it calms down in the last 100 pages. But, i was happy to be done.
This was his 17th and last novel and I have now read them all, plus a novella, a kind of autobiography, a small biography and a longer one of his wife - maybe my favorite of all this. Anyway, closing this chapter.
Struggling with this book, but it‘s nice to have the day off and be lazy with a sleepy kitty.
“I met the first of my three or four successive wives in somewhat odd circumstances, the development of which resembled a clumsy conspiracy, with nonsensical details and a main plotter who knew nothing of its real object but insisted on making inept moves that seemed to preclude the slightest possibility of success.”
Something to chew a few times before the implications of that sentence all come out.

I‘m not enjoying Nabokov‘s book of interviews, Strong Opinions. So I picked this up, his last novel. I really enjoyed the first 20 pages.
Apr. 22 was the birthday of Vladimir Nabokov.His most read novel , of course, is Lolita .I have read 3 or 4 as I recall, Pale Fire was my favorite.
