SynopsisA love triangle, where two of the members attempt to murder the third. * King, Queen, Knave , like all Nabokov's writing, bears the unmistakable stamp of his genius - brilliant, erotic, deliciously macabre, and wholly unique. "Fascinating...audacious and delightful." - The New York Times The novel is the story of Dreyer, a wealthy and boisterous proprietor of a men's clothing emporium store. 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 myopic Franz. Newly arrived in Berlin, Franz soon repays his uncle's condescension in his aunt's bed. "A simply overflowing sense of life." - Life Magazine "A treat, a feast, the splendid work of a conscious and gifted artist." - Book Week, The novel is the story of Dreyer, a wealthy and boisterous proprietor of a men's clothing emporium store.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 myopic Franz. Newly arrived in Berlin, Franz soon repays his uncle's condescension in his aunt's bed."
