Glory is the wryly ironic story of Martin Edelweiss, a twenty-two-year-old Russian emigre of no account, who is in love with a girl who refuses to marry him. Convinced that his life is about to be wasted and hoping to impress his love, he decides to embark upon a ��perilous, daredevil project�� �� an illegal attempt to reenter the Soviet Union, from which he and his mother had fled in 1919. He succeeds �� but at a terrible cost. ��Nabokov writes prose the only way it should be written, that is, ecstatically.�� �� John Updike
