It's the wilf that did it for you . . .

Since I trust your reviews of Nabokov more than anyone else's, this is going straight to my reading list.
That is magnificent, except no one agrees with my slapdown of Pale Fire.
I'm not that big on Pale Fire either, but fell in love with Nabokov upon reading Pnin and Transparent Things. I added you when I found your review of Luzhin's Defense though, I agreed with every word you wrote.
Transparent Things is a marvel. Sometimes Nabokov is like swimming in caramel.
