The suave John Ray?!! That's great (personally, I see the authorship
as HH and CQ struggling for the control of the hand with the pen)!
Can there be evidence towards it? I'd be interested to see
half-serious attempts as well.
Motives: To further his professional career?
To undermine the psychoanalytic establishment?
To work out a darker side of his relationship with ???????
Or is he a mad motel proprietor in the Rockies who thinks
himself a psychoanalyst studying nympholeptic's mania
(and has to produce nympholeptic's writings with his left hand)?

The April 7 edition of The Nation has a review of "The New Life" by
Orhan Pamuk with the headline: Nabokov in Anatolia.
Pamuk is a Turkish novelist, and the reviewer (Tom LeClair) draws
several parallels between the book and VN's work. Here's a brief sample:
"... Though similar to the paper chase of Pale
Fire, The New Life is a made-for-Muslims, desexualized
Lolita, which readers should remember was introduced
by, and in my hobby-horse opinion, written by John Ray."
