Wow! I hadn't realized that PF's note-cards were
available and, it's to be asumed, the new edition of Pale Fire, the
poem, will be a real replica of them (front and back sides?)
Congs to Matt on his dedicated research and for
uncovering a Dr. Sutton...

Needless to say, I'm
gratified by Matt Roth's findings on the poltergeist question. Furthermore, the
quotations from the front and back of VN's index card, taken together, suggest a
deeper significance than I, at least, had previously considered for
Botkin/Kinbote's comment that "Hazel Shade resembled me in certain
respects."
I'm also struck by
the fact that, although he often resorts to broad satire not only of
psychoanalysis but of academic psychology in general, VN was obviously quite
willing to turn to the authorities in the field when doing his
research.
