What is the author's style in That in Aleppo Once... by Vladimir Nabokov?

"That in Aleppo Once . . ." first appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in 1943. It was included in the 1958 collection Nabokov's Dozen. The story's title is an allusion to Shakespeare's Othello, in which the title character, through the machinations of the villainous Iago, becomes so jealous of his innocent wife that he eventually strangles her and kills himself. Like Othello, Nabokov's story explores the issues of jealousy, marital fidelity, and the ways that a credulous mind is affected by one more crafty.

The story is like many other works by Nabokov, which demand careful reading (and rereading) to understand. Upon first glance, the story seems to be one of an innocent man whose wanton wife makes a fool of him through her adulterous affairs. However, the story, like the narrator's wife, proves more elusive and the events of its plot more difficult to pin down upon closer examination. Nabokov demanded readers tolerate ambiguity and examine the ways in which ambiguity affects the narrator.
