From: sam schuman <schumans@mrs.umn.edu>
Brian Boyd's new book, "Nabokov's 'Pale Fire'" is very briefly reviewed in
this week's CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION:
"Argues that Nabokov designed the 1962 novel with clues that allow readers
to make increasingly elusive discoveries on each rereading of the book:
contends, among other things, that the novel has two narrators: John Shade
and Charles Kinbote."
I'm particularly fond of that "among other things;" it reminds me of the
"blurb" which ends "Ada."
There is a little photo of the book's cover at the top of the "New
Scholarly Books" section (p. A24) of this edition of the CHRONICLE (28
January 2000).
