Body
In his responses to Matthew Roth, Sergei Soloviev comments on the
interplay between the imaginary and the real in Pale Fire. Marina
Grishakova makes a similar argument in her recent book, "The Models of
Space, Time and Vision in V. Nabokov's Fiction" (Tartu University Press,
2006), explaining that in VN's novels, "whereas the reality is partially
fictionalized and devoid of its uncontestable obviousness, fiction
reveals a potency of becoming real and acquires either a miraculous or
threatening solidity of fact" (p. 37).
