Dear Don and List,
It is interesting to read what Nabokov himself writes about looking the world
upside down. It is in his James Joyce Lectures, page 288/289
Each chapter ( in Ulysses) is written in a different style, or rather with a
different style predominating. There is no special reason why this should be -
why one hapter should be told straight, another through a strem-of-consciousness
gurgle (...) it may be argued that this constant shift of the viewpoints conveys
a more varied knowledge, fresh vivid glimpses from this or that side.
If you have ever tried to stand and bend your head so as to look back between
your knees, with your face turned upside down, you will see the world in a
totally different light (...)
Jansy

he was walking on hands, not his feet
seeing the world upside down was so neat
they said he was completely perverted
perspective is novel inverted
