"The good reader is aware that the quest for real life, real people and so forth is a meaningless process when speaking of books. In a book, the reality of a person, or object, or a circumstance depends exclusively on the world of a particular book."
"An original author always invents an original world, and of a character or an action fits into the pattern of that world, then we experience the pleasurable shock of art truth, no matter how unlikely the person or thing may seem if transferred into what book reviewers, poor hacks, call 'real life'. " （Nabokov，Lectures on Literature）
