This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Which brings me to Nabokov, who as I occasionally say is the most Wolfean writer outside sf (or Wolfe is the most Nabokovian sf writer).? Pnin and Lolita are his two classics in the literary tradition.? Pale Fire (my favorite) has more fantasy.??A fan of Lafferty might especially like Invitation to a Beheading.? There were some interesting comments on two of?Nabokov's short stories, "The Visit to the Museum" and "Details of a Sunset", on NABOKV-L today.? If anyone here has read either of those, I'd be interested in their thoughts.

I have read all of Nabokov, but I must pull out my books and take another look, it's been a while.
