Talk:John Shade

Untitled
I changed "mock epic" to "work" because I don't think "Pale Fire" is mock anything (though some people do), and I really don't see any connection with an epic. I can't come up with a better word than "work".

Allusions to John Shade in other works of art For starters, there's Jack Butler's Martian Vampire named John Shade in the sci-fi novels _Nightshade_ and _Dreamer_ (and from reading the books it's obvious the repetition of the name is intentional). Just wondering if there's a substantial body of allusions in other works that would merit adding another section to this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.165.135.181 (talk) 23:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
