Leaves The Reader Reader Feels
921 wordsSpring in Fialta's opening line, Spring in Fialta is cloudy and dull, (Nabokov 413) is quite an atypical beginning for Nabokov. This line, coming from a man who is overly concerned with trifles, brings up many questions. Is Nabokov intentionally leaving out the trifles of Fialta here at the beginning? If so, why?
