Speaking Russian here, Nabokov's novels are not serious

Nabokov emphasized that the focus of literary works is style and structure, and put the ideology in the position of bullshit Therefore, reading the master's works is relaxing, humorous and artistic Nabokov is very concerned about details and creativity, which is shown in each of his works "Speaking Russian here" is a typical example: a family from Russia in exile in Berlin imprisoned a KGB, kept it at home, and relieved their hatred This short story has a bit of Ah Q spirit, reflecting the hatred of Russian exiled aristocrats for Russian revolutionaries, but they can't beat it, so they have to make up a story to revenge mentally and talk about their depression I think the plot of this novel is in all likelihood fictitious, but it's so vivid that many people go to that tobacco shop after it's published "Speaking Russian here" adopts a nested structure, in which there are stories At the beginning of the first sentence, I will throw out the characters and places Then I will introduce the protagonist Martin, his wife and son Petya in the first four paragraphs, and I will throw out the suspense of the whole story when I introduce myself in the third paragraph, saying that there is a secret between him and Martin After the necessary introduction, the author arranged two scenes in the first person The first scene was when "I" visited the Martin family in Berlin a year ago Here is an account of what happened to Petya, of their hatred of the Russian authorities, and of their position The second scene happened half a year later, when I came to Martin's tobacco shop again, I found that the Martin family had become refreshed and depressed as usual Later, Martin could not hold back the secret and told him the strange story of the KGB prisoners The nesting of the two stories is natural and smooth Finally, Martin invites him to visit the "prison" and the prisoner's plot in his home, and walks out of the nesting story At the end of the novel, the imprisoned KGB elements are described as "full of food and drink, bright eyes, wearing bathrobes, lying on a mattress with clean sheets" It's a kind of funny scene and ends with it.
