R.Boyle Re: [NABOKV-L] Top 10 Writers That Deserved The Nobel Prize ...: " Graham Greene, whose praise of Lolita did so much for Nabokov, never got the Nobel. A member of the committee was said to have had it in for Greene for personal reasons."
JM: Probably Nabokov's shoe-boxful of rejected note-cards (quoted from Alvin Tofler's list, mentioned in his 1964 interview with Nabokov), informing about revolutionary Marat's interest in butterflies, didn't convince my interlocutor.
I was sent a wiki-list of "famous lepidopterologists," in which Nabokov's name figures together with Princess Olga of Greece and Camille Saint-Saëns, but there's no reference to Marat. The caption, itself, is curious linking "famous" (what?) and "lepidopterology."
I wonder if there are any known conchologists or Nobel prize winners among such a notorious crowd.
