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 (...)
