Body
Maxim Shrayer, author of The World of Nabokov's Stories and a number of articles or book chapters on VN, is profiled in the Boston Globe today to promote his forthcoming book, a memoir entitled "Waiting for America." The reporter, Linda Matchan, discusses VN's influence on Shrayer's own life:
[. . .] For Shrayer, Nabokov is big, big, big. He teaches a graduate seminar on his work and says he fashioned himself after Nabokov when he arrived in the United States. "I decided, what the hell, I should be writing in English," says the affable, boyish-looking Shrayer, now married with two young daughters. "I had the example of Nabokov in mind: He became an American writer after being a Russian writer, so I knew it could be done." [. . .]
