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■
