Vladimir Nabokov,

Sure, everyone’s read Lolita, and the fans among you have probably delved into the excellent Pale Fire and Pnin. But – in the English-speaking world at least – less attention is, not surprisingly, afforded to those books Nabokov wrote in Russian, one of the best of which is Invitation to a Beheading, a surreal, Kafkaesque number rife with curiosities and metaphor. Plus, while Nabokov has said that he has the most affection for Lolita, it is Invitation to a Beheading which he holds in “the greatest esteem.” That should be good enough for anybody.
