Nabokov's permanent mystery

"This critical text examines the ways in which Vladimir Nabokov, one of the twentieth century's great novelists, structured his novels to encapsulate his metaphysical beliefs. At the heart of his work is a profound respect for what's missing, for unsolvable riddles, for questions even at the expense of answers. Nabokov's techniques reveal an enduring reverence for permanent mystery"--Provided by publisher.
