Great series and I'm looking forward to enjoying the show some evening soon, but I must say that I'm worried. Brian Boyd's book on Pale Fire was about the biggest waste of literary criticisim space that I've ever come across. For some, I'm afraid, Pale Fire is a hermeneutic invitation to a kind of conspiracy theory web-spinning. But I'm also optimistic: views change, one learns.

@kenjohnson6326: The thing not to be forgotten is that one, the poem itself is brilliant and two, Kinbote’s increasingly self-absorbed critique of same is hilariously mad. The whole novel is FUN and really doesn’t need the endless exegesis that it’s produced over the decades. Just give it a go, you won’t be sorry.
