Dave Monroe quotes:
<<"She had dedicated herself, weeks ago, to making sense of what Inverarity
had left behind, never suspecting that the legacy was America" >>
and
<<"What was left to inherit? That America coded in Inverarity's testament,
whose was that?">>
--as Nabokovian clues buried in the text. (Is that fair to say?)
Whereas, they are, rather, a narrator's comments upon what is going on in the
book, third-person perspective provided by an authorial voice and layered
upon the text. Not the same thing at all.
