N posits that if Kinbote were taken to UT he would find the smells and sounds
familiar.  This would only be true if Kinbote really was from Zembla, which is
unlikely.  Therefore his "familiarity" would be true only in the most extended
imaginary sense.

Zembla is probably a "real" place in the novel, although there is still room
for doubt.  For instance, does Zembla's fugitve king really look like Kinbote? 
The faculty club discussions would support Zembla's existence along w/ a
fugitive king resembling Kinbote.  EVERYTHING Kinbote says is suspect.
