Vladimir Nabokov once wrote that a single mustn't ’read publications to the infantile function of identifying oneself Along with the people… but for the sake of their type, their visions, their art’ ( Lectures on Literature). I have often made an effort to continue to keep this in mind when devouring a novel, and I have greatly appreciated this novel for its aesthetic uses (I hope), but I fell for that infantile impulse to discover with Nagel. He is now among my favored people found in literature, appropriate up there Along with the Underground Male and Steinbeck's Samuel Hamilton.
