Once in a while a Nab-L posting
arrived with the notice: "Sent to you by Fulmerford via Google Reader: SIGHT." (related to a
"Naboblog"?) The name sounded familiar, but I
couldn't place it anywhere.
Today, I found a Nabokovian reference
in "Strong Opinions" (Vintage,p.34) and I wonder what's the nature of
the link?
Q: What do you want to accomplish or leave
behind - or should this be of no concern to the writer?
VN: ..."I have a fair
inkling of my literary afterlife... No doubt there will be ups and downs, long
periods of slump. With the Devil's connivance, I open a newspaper of 2063 and in
some article on the books page I find: "Nobody reads Nabokov or Fulmerford
today." Awful question: Who is this unfortunate
Fulmerford?"
