Nabakov

I listened to 'Despair' by Valadimir Nabakov, with the extraordinary rendition offered by Christopher Lane, an actor.  The more I was drawn into the story, the more I felt a close proximity and bond with the character of Felix.  As I listened it dawned on me that here was a man with whom I have a close affinity.  This uncanny, disquieting experience has affected me all week.  It is as if I have found my doppelganger prematurely. Like being given a life-time for searching and it's all over so quickly, like a football match where the winning goal is scored within the first minute.  What am I to do?  This has got me thinking now.
