Vladimir Nabokov, 2016
Written in Berlin in 1934, "Invitation to a Beheading" captures the surprise, excitement, and magical intensity of a work created in two weeks of sustained inspiration. The novel transports readers into the fantastic prison-world of Cincinnatus, a man condemned to death. He spends his final days in prison uncertain of when his execution will occur. Nabokov himself described the book as 'a violin in a void,' anticipating varied reactions from readers.
