Силлогизм по запрещенной фигуре

[aptsvet]

Набоков учил, что в повествовании от первого лица герой не имеет права умереть.
У Грабала в "Поездах под особым наблюдением" герой-повествователь умирает за несколько страниц до конца.
Грабал лучше, чем Набоков.

Вот это как раз сюжетные повороты, над которыми смеялся Набоков. И я с ним согласен.

Sunset Blvd. dwarfs effete Nabokoviana.

A distinct possibility. I am not playing a Nabokov advocate here anyway. Still, I consider his thesis valid as long as we are talking about some vaporous post-mortem existence of the character. Hrabal's protagonist dies entirely, as we all do or will do.

You have this article of faith handed down on the authority of Bohumil Hrabal? We must alert Hamlet to the certainty of making his quietus.

[aptsvet]

Hamlet is an amusing character but hardly an authority in the matter of death. Even Shakespeare isn't. God would be, but he is heavily handicapped by his non-existence.

Try Plato. Or Wernher von Braun.
