Sinopse

Nabokov's Van and Ada, "dangerous cousins" long before Arrested Development and whatever French art films it was directly spoofing, prefigure also Woody Allen's and Wes Anderson's predilections. What are readers supposed to make of the nonagenarian narrator's loving descriptions of acts whose moral impact the precocious youths seem to overlook, whilst making anagrams of insect (scient - incest - nicest) and blushing across the breakfast table? Thanks for listening and pondering with us!
