Here is another Jeopardy reply -- now we can tell how many Nabokovians
watch Jeopardy! (hopefully, not all of them at 1 a.m. -- on the other
hand, given Nabokov's own insomnia, it would be quite appropriate...) GD
From: Susan Sweeney <sweeney@holycross.edu>
The answer was something like "Invitation to a Beheading is an
anti-utopian novel by this author of Lolita." Unfortunately, the panelist
who supplied the correct question ("Who is Nabokov?") mispronounced
VN's name in the usual way.
