012

When the condemned prisoner Cincinnatus awaits the unknown execution day in the absurd prison, Nabokov uses this Kafka-style countdown to death to playfully tear apart the most hypocritical mask of gentleness of totalitarianism - a world where even beheading the capital requires "invitation" is the most complete violence.
