The recent Pale Fire thread has made me wonder if there has
been anything written on T.S. Eliot's relationship
to the composer of the end notes to The Wasteland.
Do most people consider those notes to be Eliot's sincere
explanation of what is going on in the poem? Or, are
the notes considered to of doubtful integrity?
I know there are a few references to Eliot in Pale Fire. Has
there been much written on how Nabokov felt about Eliot?
