To the List,
This book does look wonderfully tantalizing. I found it in paperback
for about $30 and also available in a downloadable format for $6.
By the way, Johnson claims to have found a "single thread" that Henry
James has woven throughout all of his work - - a thread "hidden in
plain sight". I suspect Nabokov has done something similar - - some
of his best jests certainly have this quality.
