  <default_description>Nabokov's fourth novel, &lt;b&gt;The Eye&lt;/b&gt; is as much a farcical detective story as it is a profoundly refractive tale about the vicissitudes of identities and appearances. Nabokov's protagonist, Smurov, is a lovelorn, excruciatingly self-conscious Russian &#233;migr&#233; living in prewar Berlin, who commits suicide after being humiliated by a jealous husband, only to suffer even greater indignities in the afterlife. </default_description>
