Description
This schematic representation of the narrative movement of Nabokov's "A Guide to Berlin" shows the temporal complexity of the narrative. Each block (color-coded by the location) represents a small textual segment, in which the time of action was deemed to be consistent throughout. The diagram makes visible the instances of time-mirrorring, of parallel temporal lines meeting, of synchronicity of time, and shows the narrator's physical movement (in space and in narrative) as well (left to right).
