We were told in class to find out what books these could be, Amber - Zen.....by some suggestion I've posted:
Forever Amber by Kathleen Winsor
"In banning the book, the Massachusetts attorney general had listed 70 references to sexual intercourse, 39 illegitimate pregnancies, seven abortions, 10 descriptions of women undressing in front of men, and 49 miscellaneous objectionable passages." read more about Forever Amber here, or click for the wikipedia summary.

The Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope 
is an adventure novel by Anthony Hope, published in 1894. The king of the fictional country of Ruritania is abducted on the eve of his coronation, and the protagonist, an English gentleman on holiday who fortuitously resembles the monarch, is persuaded to act as his political decoy in an attempt to save the situation. (thank you wikipedia) Hmmmm.....I see this book is about an imposter of sorts.

What do you think? Did Kinbote read them? Did they influence him?
