 | Transparent Things by Vladimir Nabokov
In this very short novel, Hugh Person is an American who makes four trips to Switzerland representing the publisher he works for. During the first, his father dies, and in subsequent visits things go from bad to worse. He becomes involved in a complicated love affair, a farcical murder by a sleepwalker, and a disastrous fire. Eventually, we discover that the narrator of these events is a dead man, the ex-stepfather of Person`s beloved. Nabokov`s dreamlike novel is not one of his most celebrated or well-known, and it was almost universally misunderstood when it was published in 1972--the reviews, Nabokov commented, oscillat[ed] between hopeless adoraton and helpless hatred, but it is considered by Nabokovians to be on a par with LOLITA and PNIN.
