Nabokov mentioned the Pole Star as the center of his novel (or something in its "compass", but I have not his afterword to quote it now).
"pale, pregnant, beloved, irretrievable Dolly Schiller dying in Grey Star (the capital town of the book)" Emphasis is mine, Alexey's.

Why would cannibalism be an alimentary form of incest in particular, as unique from other kinds of "love" experiences? Lately we have the example of Jeffrey Dahmer who killed and cannibalized his lovers (all unrelated to him) only after they decided to leave him. It was his form of prolonging the love experience.
