Re: I sent her Kamala Subramaniam's translation.

The proper one. She's from India. 

Even in India, multiple translations of a work are known to exist. 

I'm not going to throw my panties artound screaming it's the best, but it's pretty good. Engish translations tend to be heavily edited, or badly written, and when I say "edited" I mean "all the nasty stuff has been cut out", which pretty much negates the enture point of the text.
There's a new edition out, with a new translator who claims to have done his homework, but it's two hardcover volumes and I didn't want to risk sending it overseas until I knew what I was sending.
The KS translation is a good one. I promise!

Pale Fire is an excellent novel, particularly if you like making fun of Robert Frost.
