> On my very first reading of VN's King, Queen, Knave in the '80s I was
struck by Enricht, Franz' landlord, as a prototypical Norman Bates.
Enricht's relationship with his wife being analogous to Norman's with his
mother and the way they create the illusion that she is alive. I don't
believe someone has ever commented on this.
