I treat Nabokov as a philosopher, this "imagination is a form of
memory"

or "I am an indivisible monist" are amazing for me. As to details

I forget in this moment this details (I had not found much but it

was something - Gradus as a alarm-clock somwhere so I understand
that

Gradus wake up Shade (1->2) not killed him (1->0), as to Balthazar

somewhere Is mentioned that he is on higher level of "green ladder"
or

something like that). I also think that interpretation of

any novel do not have to be "true", vivid imagination which possibly
may be

over true it is also interesting.
