This photo reminds me that in the interview a link to which Jansy so
kindly profered in the discussion about how to pronounce Lolita, Vera
and VN are playing chess in English! was that for the (French)
interviewer? Why not play in French, then? or Russian? Do you suppose
that in private they actually spoke English together? His English by
the way was so sweet, intimate and charming - I was amazed that he
allowed it to be filmed.

Dear Reader...
We decided to hold our review of "Nabokov in America," published in
June, to time with the publication of Nabokov's collected "Letters to
Véra," reviewed on our cover by Martin Amis, in order to provide a
broad portrait of the author. Daphne Merkin opens her incisive essay
about the first book with the question, "Who would have thought
there'd be more to say about Vladimir Nabokov?" We hope our reviews of
these two books will make the answer clear.
