Who was in the wrong here? Do you believe that Nabokov was unaware of Kafka before the novel's publication? Cincinnatus C. is definitely more sexually inert than the majority of Kafka's protagonists. Also, my interpretation of the ending is thatCincinnatus was beheaded and the last page or so is a description of the "shadow Cincinnatus" that pops up throughout the novel. Lastly, can anyone tell me the significance of the spider? I'm having a little trouble interpreting it.

Been some time since I've read this but do know that VN was aware of Kafka when he wrote it. It's in either Field or Boyd. He even has an encounter with Kafka (or thinks he does) on the Berlin metro in the early-mid 20's and tells others in his excitement. I remember this because it put me in mind of Henry James' one face-to-face encounter with Dickens at a party. Neither spoke.

Kafka fucked a beheaded Nabokov in his excitement over the sexual insertion of a significant spider in the mind of Henry James.
