V pleased that I managed to complete the proj’ without ever having to use this horror (which I’ve never seen 2ndhand - either because the cov is so awf that nobody bought it in the first place or (more likely) the book fell apart after a single read as these eds are wont to do…)
PNIN sure shows a different side of Nabokov. Still, my biggest laugh out loud moment from him came with his description of the regime a character was supposed to follow, for opening and closing curtains throughout the day, in Pale Fire: "I'd have been as busy as a participant in a regatta!"
