König Dame Bube by Vladimir Nabokov
A darkly comic, fast-moving novel about a guileless young man drawn into a destructive love triangle when his attractive guardian falls for a charming, unscrupulous outsider; seduction and manipulation lead to a bungled criminal plot and unexpected consequences, while the narrator’s wry tone and linguistic play expose themes of desire, fate and the absurdity of social roles.
