[EDNOTE. As you know, NABOKV-L editorial policy frowns upon forwarding brief rhetorical flourishes to the List lest we clutter up folks' in-boxes unduly. When possible, as in this instance, I may try to combine them into a single message on a related topic. -- SES]
Joseph Aisenberg writes in response to the article "Love, actually," on LOLITA as a rare novel concerned with love:

And George Shimanovich responds to Jansy Mello's comment on Verses and Visions:
>[Translator] should ... be paid princely sums for his works.
