Rodrigo Fresán (, , ) joins Chad and Brian to talk about the only Nabokov book he hasn’t read. In addition to talking about all the reasons to love Nabokov, about how this book is the one where he actually seems to be measuring himself against the all time greats, they talk about strange science-fiction books, publishers as characters (and superheroes), the layers of (unreliable) narration surrounding the text, and beautiful writing about socially unacceptable things.

This week’s music is “Nabokov’s Wandering Eye” from an album called �ʴǰ������dz�����������.��Nothing could be more fitting.
