I hope Mikhail Efimov’s web-cite is not a typo! It’s delightfully Nabokovian
and citable, depending as it does on the quirks of English and Russian

PPS: Does Salinger rhyme with Malinger?* In AppleTalk, it’s more of an
iRHYME. But nonetheless, highly significant. JD playing the recluse in order
to gain global notoriety? When they announced the death of Clement Atlee,
one cruel Tory asked “How could they tell?” Being the only earthling never
to have read Catcher in the Wry, I really shouldn’t carp. Sufficient to
rejoice that VN did not dry up after his first major success!

garden you ma’linger, ma’linger moy(a) ...
