Kinbote was amazing, more so than the poet John Shade which I think was the main comic point of the novel.
I see Grissom more as a caricaturist who strikes good targets but uses racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic tropes to trigger new outrages through ancient animosities. He probably doesn't see himself as using these tropes but he is using them. |
