Dear All,
I subscribed to the list recently, mostly because I was
interested in analyzing the link with the Zenda story
(I had myself very clear feeling that it influenced Kinbote,and at
your site I found this idea presented in much more convincing
way that I ever would be able to do it; the interest of the experiment
is that I am a russian reader of Nabokov, and have very
different cultural references).
Concerning the hypothesis of split personality, I am not
convinced at all, at least, I think it should not be taken
so easily, almost as self-evident, to me it looks rather as
a trap (one of many) prepared by Nabokov, and I easily
imagine how he could ridiculize psychiatric zeal in the interpretations
of the PF.
With best wishes,
Sergei
