Re: [NABOKV-L] JM to MR back to Sergei: reading by VN's "intertexture"Stan K-B wrote: the 'voices' I often hear include large doses of VN mocking those trite, paradoxical aphorisms that we so readily take as ineffable wisdom... As the pun on 'novel' indicates, Lloyd's epistemological philosophies are presented in dramatic narrative form ...YET finally, as Fodor, anxious to debate actual theories of consiousness, concludes: "YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH A NOVEL!"
Dear SKB
Polisemic novels whould be bound by different threads, or so I imagine, but my head is already spinning.
I enjoy VN's mocking intrusions, when I notice them. And yet, although I didn't find "ineffable wisdom" in the quoted aphorisms, I did like them and I chose them because I saw a similar difference and a different similarity in both ( the first, a distortion of Tolstoy and, the second, a distortion of the first) which I considered as their "common texture").
