Dear Anthony,

I'll only follow up on two of the quotes you sent (for fear of becoming a
bore)
Carolyn

John Shade in Pale Fire leads an intense inner existence, far removed from
what you call a joke. You must be confusing me with Dostoevski.

Surely Kinbote leads at least as intense an inner existence as Shade does -
- and certainly more colorful. I don't understand your point, however.

Do you make a point of puzzling people and playing games with readers?

What a bore that would be!

And I take it that you take this seriously?!

Carolyn
