From: Judy Baughman <baughmanj@garnet.cla.sc.edu>
Dear Nabokovians:
I am editing a collection of James Dickey's letters. In one of
these letters he quotes VN's attack on authors who write "heavy
autobiographical novels with their thumbs." Can anybody identify the
source of this quotation? (Dickey often slightly misquoted his sources.)
Cordially,
Matthew J. Bruccoli
Jefferies Professor of English
