Adam Roberts, author of, most recently, _Yellow Blue Tibia_ (a transparent allusion), on _Glory_:

"The novel as a whole makes a salutary counterexample to those who think Nabakov’s schitck was an ‘aesthetics of cruelty’; for it is a novel about goodness, and beauty, and quite deliberately lacks melodramatic tension, although it is actually brimming with Nabokov’s trademark rapturous gorgeousness.
