NPPF - Preliminary - Title

[Malignd]

<<Furthermore, Nabokov loudly criticized Scott 
Moncrieff's translation of Proust's _A la Recherche du
Temps Perdu_, not least because of the translator's
unaccountable adoption of phrases from Shakespeare for
use as titles, making Nabokov's choice for his novel
certainly a peculiar one.>>

"Peculiar"?  Given the themes of the novel, it's an
entirely appropriate--I'd say perfect--title.

However, as a title chosen by Shade for his poem, it
provides a small hint (perhaps), as to how Nabokov
views the poet he's created and, as we get further
into the novel, this opens further doors into the
endlessly mirroring discussion of internal authorship.
