Nabokovian joke in Dutch magazine (fwd)

From: Edo Marinus <em242@cam.ac.uk>

An amusingly Nabokovian joke appeared in issue 29 of the satirical
Dutch "magazine" _Ontzind_ (which is really more of a fotocopied,
fanzine-style joke sheet), in which a list of the century's 30 least
interesting men included

"Klazimir Nabokov (Russia; imagines himself to be Vladimir Nabokov's
never-born brother, but is in reality Klaas Nagelkoof, from the Dutch
town of Ede.)" [my translation]

_Onzind_'s home page (in Dutch) can be found at
