J&H not the only clue to PF puzzle solutionDear Carolyn,
Concerning my observation: "I have the impression that your hypothesis concerning the identity of CK and JS would become richer and more workable as a thing Nabokovian, if RLS's novel and allegories were less emphasized ..."
you noted: "All I can say in my own defense is that I took my clues from Pale Fire. But you are right. This is only one among other clues that lead me to the multiple-personality solution."
What I had been wondering about, together with the "single-minded" preference for RLS taken as a key-work to interpret PF, concerned your choice of the "multiple personality disorder" as a solution for the Shade/Kinbote/Gradus problem.
