The interesting exchange around line 992 of Shade’s poem provides me with an opportunity to announce the publication of a new study about the novel: The Darker Shades of Pale Fire, An Investigation into a Literary Mystery (Paris: Michel Houdiard Editeur).
This book is an annotated history of the novel’s reception half a century after its publication, and offers a new answer to the riddle of Pale Fire’s narrative structure.
I hope Nabokov aficionados will read it with pleasure.
