QUERY: Spiral / Helical Staircases
From
Date
Body
Dear list,
Spiral staircases appear in several of VN's works. Podtyagin descends one
in Mary, Gradus descends a "helical staircase" in the Wordsmith library,
and Van runs down a short spiral staircase to meet Ada. I am also aware of
the hidden spiral staircase in VN's chilhood home. Beyond these, what other
spiral staircases appear in VN's works? I'm sure I'm missing some.
Thanks,
Matt Roth
