Abstract:

In his novels, Nabokov employs variations, alternative texts, symbols and metaphors to stimulate diverse thinking. By intertextuality and parodying classics, he breaks through the enclosed semantic field, with hidden narrative, discourse and plots constructing compound meanings. In parallel with the plot and resonate with each other. They differ from the explicit juxtaposed clues, fragmented subtexts, and the“implied author”affecting readers. Instead, it is more appropriate to refer them as “processes.” In narrative interspersed with commentary, the narration and commentary are independent and corresponding to each other only in fragments. However, Nabokov’s implicit non-narrative processes are embedded within the plot, latent in the form of story props, structural elements, line content, voiceovers, developing with the narrative and jointly contributing to the achievement of the creative theme.

Key words: Nabokov, story line, implicit process, non-narrative, narrative
