A. BOUAZZA to Stan:

Have the Lolilta poetic ‘lollipops’ (to borrow the musical idiom) ever been published and analzed as part of VN’s corpus?

Dear Mr. Bouazza, I don't know how Stan will respond to your question, but you may be interested in Dupee's brief discussion, from 1963, of the "Wanted, Wanted" poem. Here's the link:

Nabokov: the Prose and Poetry of It All
By F. W. Dupee

TO JERRY FRIEDMAN:

I appreciate your message about the Pale Fire poem. I'll respond more fully in due course. For now, I think that you, as well as Mr. Bouzza, might be interested in Dupee's essay on VN's poetry. For my purposes, at least, he comes to pretty much the same conclusion as Monroe, but without recourse to what you regard as questionable poetics.

Jim Twiggs
