NPPF - What does it all mean?

[David Morris]

Patterns, mirror images, anagrams, word golf, and all other phenomena of
transforming and discovering hidden surprises in the novel Pale Fire are the
“texture” that supercedes the “text.“  For Shade (and maybe VN) this texture is
a reassuring hint at an overarching “oneness” or lack of total randomness of
the cosmos.  These patterns are sought out, and there they are!  Accident? 
Coincidence?  Planned?  Projected?  If anything were to relate this NPPF to
Pynchon, this would be it.  For Pynchon this is all a manifestation of
“paranoia” (but They may really be out to get you).  Nabakov doesn’t give this
pattern-quest a name, but for him it is clearly a sign of hope, and an
assurance of being a part of something bigger than one small life.  And as
Terrance would tell you, Religion is at the heart of it all...
