Published two weeks after Vladimir Nabokov’s seventieth birthday, Ada, or Ardor is one of his greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist. It tells a love story troubled by incest, but it is also at once a fairy tale, epic, philosophical treatise on the nature of time, parody of the history of the novel, and erotic catalogue. Ada, or Ardor is no less than the supreme work of an imagination at white heat. This is the first American edition to include the extensive and ingeniously sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom.

One of my favorite books, some typos in performance
Revisado: 03-31-21
Overall this was a great recording of Ada, and with such a dense text it can be very helpful and altogether fun to read along with the audiobook. Some editions of Ada include VN’s own typos, some notably corrected or amended in the Notes to Ada by Darkbloom. I can’t recommend Adaonline as a resource enough. My only criticism would be that the narrator sometimes mistakes one word in the print for another, and if you’re not reading along with the audio this can misrepresent the text’s intended form.
