Perhaps I hallucinated this: in my first reading of Pale Fire, some 25 years ago, I discovered a circularity in the notes to Pale Fire.  Note X said, see Note Y, and Note Y said see Note X.  A joke that made me laugh out loud.  Rereading the book last fall, I --------couldn't find it..  Did I miss it or misremember it?

EDRESPONSE. You are probably thinking of the Index rather than Kinbote's annotations. I have devoted a chapter in my WORLDS IN REGRESSION such matters and I'. sure Brian Boyd covers the matter in his recent book on PF.
