P.S. Re: Carolyn's Carrolllian analogy, in my essay, "Executing Sentences
in *Lolita* and the Law,"
<http://www.libraries.psu.edu/nabokov/sweeney1.htm>I also argue that the
trial in Wonderland is the model for the ending of *Lolita*--an unresolved
criminal investigation or legal trial that transgresses boundaries between
narrative levels, leaving the reader as ultimate arbiter--as well as for
the ending of other novels, such as *Despair *and *Bend Sinister.*
