Forcing us to face the fact that we are only as strong as the bodies we inhabit and the personalities we develop, Vladimir Nabokov has a knack for making us feel uncomfortable. Ada, or Ardor is no exception, as it deals with love and eroticism in the shadow of incest. Written towards the end of his life, it brings together all his talent and experience, rolls it up and presents in a wonderfully crafted piece of literature. This edition also includes a beautifully sarcastic appendix that Nabokov wrote as Vivian Darkbloom, an anagram of his own name. | Ada Or Ardor by Vladimir Nabokov, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
