About this work of fiction
Laughter in the Dark. : Rev Ed by Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov & John Banville [Nabokov, Vladimir Vladimirovich & Banville, John] is a work of fiction available to read on EtoBox.
"Once upon a time there lived in Berlin, Germany, a man called Albinus. He was rich, respectable, happy; one day he abandoned his wife for the sake of a youthful mistress; he loved; was not loved; and his life ended in disaster." Thus begins Vladimir Nabokov's Laughter in the Dark; this, the author tells us, is the whole story--except that he starts from here, with his characteristic dazzling skill and irony, and brilliantly turns a fable into a chilling, original novel of folly and destruction.
It is typically read by readers looking for immersive, entertainment-first reading.
