"Lushins Verteidigung" / "The Defense" by Vladimir Nabokov
Even though the novel has an interesting theme - the rise and fall of a young chess player - it is written without suspense. There awaits no grand final. The language has it's strengths: chess and it's ways are well used to describe the psyche of Lushin, the main character. But I think Nabokov is not the kind of storyteller I enjoy.
