Barry Warren wrote: Thank you, thank you, Mary Bellino , for so clearly
identifying and presenting in one place these signs within the novel
establishing Kinbote's authorship of the forward, commentary, and
index.
He then asked: Will the proponents of various ingenious readings
please
respond to Ms. Bellino and explain how their own tortured and selective
readings do or do not take into account this internal evidence?
Like B. Warren, I also consider that Mary Bellino's posting was
outstanding
in its concision and clarity. Still, she didn't foreword, sorry,
forward
theories against or favoring an integrationistic authorship.
Internal evidence in fiction is simply like diagnosing dilating nebulae
to
describe a real illness.
