«'Of all my novels this bright brute is the gayest', Nabokov wrote of «King, Queen, Knave». Comic, sensual and cerebral, it dramatizes an Oedipal love triangle, a tragi-comedy of husband, wife and lover, through Dreyer the rich businessman, his ripe-lipped ad mercenary wife Martha, and their bespectacled nephew Franz. 'If a resolute Freudian manages to slip in' — Nabokov darts a glance to the reader — 'he or she should be warned that a number of cruel traps have been set here and there'.»
