***********
I try to identify the referent pictures in N.'s works. Re-reading Pnin [for classes that Steve Fix is giving at Williams College] and recollecting Shapiro's abstract from the List [Item #3402 (1 Oct 1998 12:14) - Re: Nabokov Festival abstracts: Sept. 10-12, 1989 ], it struck me that Laurence Clements believes he looks like van Eyck's Cardinal Paele, while the narrator states that he, like several of his characters, has "Tvins". It follows that one of these might be the author; the artist appearing in his own canvas as van Eyck appears reflected in the armor of St. George. Nabokov emphasizes that artful truth is to be found in reflections.
My concern is that the suggestion below might be offensive, although I think the joke is N.'s, not mine. -Sandy
