Transparent Things

I am noticing many familiar images, and themes, such as doubles, mirroring, chess, adult men fantasizing over pictures of naked young girls, changing words, butterflies, and contact with the other side/ghosts. These are clearly things that Nabokov thought about a lot since they reoccur in many of his works.

T.T. is definitely the easiest read so far, though the layers and complexities are still there too.
