Ultima Thule? Alders, mauve, “when I think of those I love…”(this book) echoing “whenever I start thinking of my love for a person… (Speak, Memory), and “process at work behind commonplace reality” and the “secret arranger of chance events” echoing all of Nabokov.
He’s so obviously influenced by VN, but I only see where he falls short. Maybe this isn’t his best book.
