Smurov, a fussily self-conscious Russian tutor, shoots himself after a
humiliating beating by his mistress' husband. Unsure whether his suicide has
been successful or not, Smurov drifts around Berlin, observing his
acquaintances, but finds he can discover very little about his own life from the
opinions of his distracted, confused fellow-émigrés. Nabokov's shortest novel,
The Eye is both a satirical detective story and a wonderfully layered
exploration of identity, appearance and the loss of self in a world of word-play
and confusion.
