Priscilla Meyer shows how Nabokov's first English-language novel sheds light on his subsequent work. The connections between Nabokov's characters and the previous tradition of Russian, English and American literature and philosophy are revealed. Nabokov uses echoes between numerous subtexts to consider the main problem of interest to him: the continued existence of the soul after the death of the body. All of Nabokov’s work is subordinated to the desire for inaccessible knowledge about another world, and since this desire is endless, the writer’s novels have no plot or thematic conclusion, no denouement. The inconclusiveness of everything is their common hidden theme. The publishing layout of the book is saved in PDF A4 format.
