I really enjoyed the afterward that Nabakov wrote. It didn't really tell me anything that PK didn't tell us in class as far as how to read the book goes, but, true to form, his afterward didn't wow me with its content, but rather its clever language.
One thing that Nabakov wrote was:
..."reality," one of the only words that has no meaning without quotations...
It's true, especially to authors, that no single reality exists. We each have our own individual reality that we create based on our senses, our imaginations, what have you. This ties in with Nabakov's criticism of certain readers, stretching a single reality created by an author to fit whatever "big world" issue they'd like.
