May I offer my two cents on the current Lolita film flap? It seems to
me that we are losing our focus here. We are allowing this forum to be
overtaken by concerns about film in general and Adrian Lyne in
particular. Nothing against either of these; however, we are supposed
to discussing Vladimir Nabokov, a writer of books. The last time I
checked, VN's novels have not been banned or otherwise snuffed out of
existence. Let's please get back to the books! Until we do, you will
hear no "Laughter in the Dark" from me, "Despair"-ing as I am that the
"Transparent Things" that are film images have caused us to lose "The
Eye" to see the "Glory" of "The Gift" of "The Enchanter," VN.
