"This extraordinary novel is truly one work of fiction which represents life itself. Perhaps it could be considered Art imitating life. Nabokov uses a light and breezy style of writing to tell his tale of total deception and betrayal. It is quite the archetypal description of a more or less good man being defiled and destroyed by a wily and wicked lady who is intent on gaining for herself all that she can and providing for herself a life of leisure and comfort at the expense of so many other people..." - Amazon reviewer

  • Mô tả

Albinus -- rich, married, middle-aged and respectable -- is an art critic and aspiring filmmaker who lusts after the coquettish young cinema usherette Margot. Gradually he seduces her and convinces himself that he is irresistible to her, but Margot has other plans. She wants to be a film star, and when Albinus introduces her to the American movie producer Axel Rex, she sees her chance -- and plotting, duplicity and tragedy ensue.

Deadpan and devilishly funny, Laughter in the Dark is a tense, teasing account of lust, infatuation and self-deception.
