Jeff Edmunds <jhe@psulias.psu.edu>, webmaster of ZEMBLA, passes on the
item below. For the good Nabokovian, it should immediately evoke the saga
of the Ivanovs in the "Library" chapter of ADA (I. 21) -- if not the
Veen-Durmanov clan that the tacky Ivanovs' parody.
----------------------------------------------------------
I pass along without comment this news snippet that appeared in a recent Los
Angeles Reader column:
"Houston police arrested a forty-six-year-old man in February and charged
him with molesting his twelve-year-old granddaughter. Police officers and
social workers suspect that the man is not only the father of the girl's
mother but of the girl, too, and, noting that the granddaughter is five
months pregnant, also suspect that he is the father of what would be his own
great-granddaughter. (The suspect denied all accusations.)"
