This was Nabokov's first English book. I read Laughter in the Dark which was written before this. That was good and showed Nabokov had potential. The Real Life of Sebastian Knight probably wouldn't be remembered at all had Nabokov not written Lolita. It's merely ok. It's about a half brother writing a biography of his brother Sebastian Knight. He meets a phony biographer of his brother along the way and gets some information about Knight's past loves. It also talks about Knight's writing. It was kind of boring, to be honest. Still, I'm going to read more of Nabokov's works.
