I think I might have ADHD so this book is fucking perfect because it's super short, it goes off on so many beautiful tangents about the history of an object, and then later on you may realize that the alabasterette skier made by the gay prison inmate is foreshadowing the Chad who is buried underneath the snow trail where Hugh and his first wife first made love, his name foreshadows "Armande" which means Peacock or something.
Also the dry wit of this thing is just amazing, the sex scenes are devoid of passion (I know, in a Nabokov book!) and there are so many mnemonic tricks - remembered red doors being apple green which matches someone's apron.
And that's before I even discuss the characters and their quirks!!
God it's so fucking good!
