PALE FIRE - SIDERAL KEYS OF KOBALTANA
Author(s): Ljiljana M. ĆukSubject(s): Russian Literature, Theory of Literature
Published by: Матица српска
Keywords: Pale Fire; Nabokov; Koballtana;
Summary/Abstract: The text outlines the argument for deciphering Nabokov’s Pale Fire, whose interpreters have not as yet found definitive answers to many of this novel’s motif nebulae. The basic supposition is based on an allusion offered by Nabokov himself edging the reader on to Kobaltana. Kinbote’s keys, which wind the rustic mechanism from Shade’s basement, unlock the mysterious doors of the narrative, leading one to the Wordsmith College observatory from where a diegetic relationship between four main characters may clearly be seen.
