A good short review of/introduction to the novel. This was VN's first novel written in English, and I think it reveals a lot about the state of mind of a writer who was forced by circumstances to change languages in mid-career, an unprecedented metamorphosis as far as I know. The novel also introduces some of the metafictional techniques that VN pioneered long before others attempted them.
