1) "Nabokov's choice of poly-vocal narration in _Pale Fire_ is on one
level to challenge the reader to interpret the text without a concrete
sense of cohesiveness."

a novel in _Pale Fire_ to signal to his reader the dangers of only
accepting a literary work, which has been constructed using the same
methods of previous texts."
Should not anyone who writes like this be failed by his or her examiners whether or not he or she has plagiarised it from someone else who writes like this?
