Nabokov

Hard to believe, but after all this time as Lolita, Monica Lewinski takes one (albeit not giant) leap toward Nabokov.

But the truth was I had written what I thought was a comic novel, composed under the spell of Despair, an early Nabokov.

Pope, Wharton, Nabokov, and Updike, to name only a handful, fail to register at all.

Fitzgerald, Nabokov, Huxley, and the rest of them failed in Hollywood for a variety of reasons.
