535 to 563: Part 4 of *Ada or Ardor :*
it is an evening’s reading: it is possible to read it
without reading all the novel, and its novelistics,
pyrotechnics . . . arsons, incests . . .
It appears that each of the novel’s six parts
may be read as the *initial *part.
V.N. gests (suggests) that the *final* part
is the *intro-duction *to the book . . .
*Ab-duction, sub-duction, sub-version: suction into earth:*
as with Lolita, Persephone (and Hades).
V.N. disentangles *time* from the familiar tumour:
from “science” (the generic drug),
which confuses *time* with *space:*
from *philosophy-religion* which deposits *time,*
safely “behind”, “to one side”, in *meta-physics.*
