Are you calling Lambdadelta a liar?

Wow, that's a pretty convincing imitation! Minus the filename which you shouldn't have revealed, but I use actual em dashes "—" instead of hyphens "-" that aren't even grammatical. Also commas belong inside quotation marks. Lastly, my favorite of Borges' works include "Death and the Compass," but not "Everything and Nothing."

But yeah I won't complain if you want to play Lambda Anon for a bit cause it would be cute to see what you guys have learned.

As an aside, I'll remind you to read Invitation to a Beheading. It has a horizontal (spatial) epistemological hierarchy while Umineko has a vertical (temporal) one, since the setting is separate from the world and can't be observed until well after the massacre. The epistemology moves then across a third axis, since its metafiction travels upward with unreliable everything (like even the author and reader), and not just the narrator, who changes regularly. Invitation to a Beheading's metafiction moves downward in that the pieces become players to transient and capricious games, all written by Cincinnatus from his jail cell in an almost closed room. With Umineko, we don't care about outside horizontal/synchronous perspectives, but here the person inside the cell (Cincinnatus) is subject to his viewer's imagination. This is partially why his cell has a window he can't reach that often colors his face where and how it likes; he's the object of scrutiny from every level. It uses different vectors from Umineko, but with the same fabric.

In the same way he'll become seasick when the guard peering through the keyhole at him imagines him at sea, he'll become whatever color and shape the sky chooses for him to be. In return, his mind distorts perceptions of what goes on in his cell when, it distorts his perception of what's happening in the jail when his mind is stable in the cell, and it distorts his perception of what's outside when he's outside the cell but in the jail. It's basically an epistemological hierarchy by virtue of spatial garths, sparser and sparser arcades and cloisters per tier. Umineko does this but on the other axis.

So yeah if you're a skilled enough reader for Nabokov then you ought to read him, though he's difficult even for seasoned consumers.
