Abstract: As a postmodern writer， Nabokov always demonstrates postmodern styles in his novels. However， his novels are abundant with Chinese traditional elements if read in depth. The narrative of Nabokov's novels is in compliance with the narrative of Chinese traditional novels， which can be put under the framework of oriental aesthetic values. Taking Lolita and A Dream of the Red Mansions as examples， the author innovatively uses narration theories to bridge western postmodern novels and Chinese classical novels， and employs the research method of point and sphere integrated correlation to analyze the common features of the two novels and their relationship in the aspects of narrator， narrative space and narrative foreshadowing. Firstly， the two novels both use unreliable narrative， which corresponds to each other; secondly， the two novels both use three-layer space， which are endowed with similar connotations though under different titles; thirdly， the two novels both use narrative foreshadowing， contributing to their structures and plots.

Key words: Nabokov, unreliable narrative, narrative space, narrative foreshadowing
