Abstract

 The purpose of this paper is to analyse the role of unreliable narrator in Vladmir Nabokov’s novel Ada, as well as motivation igniting the story, worlds and realities that Van creates in his multilayered storytelling. It tries to see beyond what Veen claims his motifs are and discover what great need gives birth to Veen’s timeless story. The main focus is placed on the story itself narrated/dreamt/made up by Ivan Van Veen in the work which is “ninety seven percent real and three percent possible” as well as on the path the story undergoes from an ode to a great love to an apology of the very same love and finally to a vindication
