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.
