James Ramey argues that the line “not text, but texture” suggests that this novel’s use of italics can be used to find its crown jewels hidden in “potaynik.” This novel describes how a stint at the Institute for Preparation for the Hereafter and a vision of a “white fountain” during a heart attack inspires a belief that the universe is a “web of sense.” A character in this novel says “I know. You know.” when describing (*) Hazel’s suicide in a lake. This novel, whose title comes from a line from Timon of Athens, details the incompetence of the assassin Jakob Gradus. This novel’s narrator inserts suggestions that he is the exiled king of Zembla while commenting on lines like “I was the shadow of the waxwing slain.” For 10 points, Charles Kinbote’s edited and commented version of a 999-line poem by John Shade make up what novel by Vladimir Nabokov? ■END■
