Vladimir Nabokov : King, Queen, Knave before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised King, Queen, Knave:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Poor DogBy wesI adored this book, another wonderful tale by Nabokov with his usual sensory flourishes. Young Franz becomes entangled with the wife of a relative, and the lines between master and manipulated blur as plots for murder accompany lust, longing and pungent hatred. Despite it's short length, I enjoyed digesting this book ever so slowly, letting the exquisite details seep in. As always, knowledge of French and cultural context will give you more out of Nabokov, but I found that this book wasn't nearly as rife with buried treasures as others are (Or maybe I just missed them...)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Early Nabakov well one.By lovegoodbooksVery early Nabakov very well done. Starts little slow then lots happens and characters reveal themselves.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Kind of slight but very enjoyable. Same old threesome ...By Richard steingesserKind of slight but very enjoyable. Same old threesome of older man, younger woman, and younger man lurking about, Nabakov might have just written one novel many times.

This novel is the story of Dreyer, a wealthy and boisterous proprietor of a men's clothing emporium. Ruddy, self- satisfied, and thoroughly masculine, he is perfectly repugnant to his exquisite but cold middle-class wife, Martha. Attracted to his money but repelled by his oblivious passion, she longs for their nephew instead, the thin, awkward, myopic Franz. Newly arrived in Berlin, Franz soon repays his uncle's condescension in his aunt's bed. One of the twentieth century's master prose stylists, Vladimir Nabokov was born in St. Petersburg in 1899. He studied French and Russian literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, then lived in Berlin and Paris, where he launched a brilliant literary career. In 1940 he moved to the United States, and achieved renown as a novelist, poet, critic, and translator. He taught literature at Wellesley, Stanford, Cornell, and Harvard. In 1961 he moved to Montreux, Switzerland, where he died in 1977.
