Kinbote supplies such extensive details about Gradus that it quickly becomes 
clear that he has to be inventing most if not everything he's telling us 
about Gradus.  It in fact makes us wonder if Gradus even exists, which he 
probably doesn't.  For those who want a Pynchon connection, Kinbote's 
fictions about Gradus bear a heavy resemblance to Stencil's 
"stencilizations."
