-> ...I wonder how Kinbote would have felt and what he would have done
-> if he had recovered... How about a brave soul taking a crack at a
-> sequel? Just kidding, sort of.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the obvious fact that Vera really wrote all
the VN works? The evidence is overwhelming: she was a more successful
writer than Vladimir when they met in Berlin, he never permitted
surprise questions or gave spontaneous answers in his interviews.

Though I haven't yet had an opportunity to peruse the new biography of
Vera I don't doubt that it will provide an abundance of corroborating
evidence.

... Sort of.
