Rajat Sharan Sethi –
A quick and interesting read. The themes were thought-provoking, but the story felt unfinished. Good, not great.
Vibha Ojha –
A quick, dark read. Nabokov’s style is unmistakable, but the story felt a bit rushed. Still worth it for fans.
Ravi Vasant Thakkar –
Disturbing and fascinating. ‘The Black Ball’ explores obsession with a chilling elegance. Not my favorite Nabokov, but powerful.
Gaurav Singh –
Had high expectations. The story was decent, but didn’t resonate with me as much as other works by Nabokov. Bit underwhelming.
Varun Grover –
Not Nabokov’s best, but still a compelling look at the darker aspects of humanity. The billiards theme is unique.
Rupashi Aggarwal –
Intriguing concept, though the execution felt somewhat incomplete. The atmosphere was great, just wished for more depth.
Sauptik Datta –
A classic Nabokovian tale of psychological unraveling. Short, sharp, and leaves you with a lingering unease. Highly recommended.
Sarvesh Singh –
Dark and twisted, just how I like my Nabokov! The psychological elements are superb. Short but packs a punch.
Nelli Sam Prakash –
Excellent short story! Nabokov’s prose shines, and the themes of betrayal are expertly handled. A must-read for short fiction enthusiasts.
