Absurdity reigns supreme in this novel about a man imprisoned and sentenced to be beheaded for “gnostical turpitude”. Seriously thought-provoking while being laugh out loud hilarious. Invitation to a Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov.

Measure me while I live after it will be too late. In any case I have been measured, said Cincinnatus... But how I don’t want to die! My soul has burrowed under the pillow...It will be cold getting out of my warm body. I don’t want to...wait... let me doze some more. #nabokov #invitationtoabeheading

In spite of everything I am #comparatively. After all I had #premonitions, had premonitions of this finale.
