>Kinbote is a projection, or expression of, Shade's perhaps of his
suppressed desires.
Stylistically post by Tiffany DeRewal gives itself away as . . .
selective
prose. When one writes about VN works special care is required with
words.
Or he'll come right back at you (always remember that he was giving
boxing
lessons once to support his family). Notice blissful Kinbotean zeal in
pursuing multi-personality theories: in Pale Fire the poem by John Shade
as
read by Kinbote, in Pale Fire novel by VN as read by multi-personality
(other than Kinbote-Botkin) proponents on Nabokov-L (CK, TdR) and in
VN's
biography by . . . some (fill in the blank). Let's hope that the middle
group
will
not join the latter. I am reasonably sure that none shall become the
former.
Not that I compare but Kinbote kind of divorced himself from his
delusions
in the end: index entry "Zembla, a distant northern land" has no page
number
because it does not point anywhere - distant indeed.
