Don,
boundary crossings are exemplified in Philip Pullman´s Dark Materials (
"Subtle Kinfe" cuts through invisible lines and allow one to pass from one
dimension to another, often while remaining in the same place and time).
And there are such crossings in Lichberg´s "Lolita", aren´t there?

EDREPLY. Yes, there are "boundary crossings" and a supernatural element in
Lichberg's "Lolita" but almost any narrative may be examined in such terms.
In some cases they are significant and in others not.
