Gingko Pale Fire: A Poem in Four Cantos by John Shade

Nice catch, Jansy. Your observation (that Kinbote describes the cards, not
VN) foregrounds a particularly thorny problem: how to discern the relative
reliability of Kinbote's narrative details. Is his New Wye (and Cedarn)
narrative reliable, while the Zemblan narrative is a fantasy? Is there a
test we can use to discern the reliability of CK's statements?

JM: Where did Nabokov describe the index cards which originated Shade’s
poem? Not in commandeering Kinbote’s Foreword?
