NPPF - Foreword - Notes (1)

[Malignd]

<<I'm not arguing that the college and town aren't
modeled on Cornell and Ithaca, but why the elaborate
dodge to direct our attention elsewhere?>>

My guess on this is that all the pertinent places and
place names (Cedarn, Utana) are fictional so that the
possibility that Zembla might be other than something
imagined by Kinbote, can't be disqualified on that
basis; i.e., as the only made-up place (name) in the
novel.
