Nabokov's admirers: Erica Jong

Body
------------------
Nabokovilia, part of my VN tribute site, collects references and quotes
by authors referencing Nabokov. There's 37 authors in there so far: they
can be found at
http://www.fulmerford.com/waxwing/nabobilia/nabobilia.html
Erica Jong's _Fear of Flying_ is in there as well (not for the trip but
rather for a clever allusion in the midst of an argument), at
http://www.fulmerford.com/waxwing/nabobilia/nv36.html
Cheers,
Juan

EDITOR's NOTE. Below are some writers who write in the shadow of
Nabokov. A
question of my own --- I've not read Arundhati Roy. Do any of you who
have
agree (or disagree) with Kevin Fraier's suggestion. Also any thoughts on
the
_Fear of Flying_ parallel to the HH/LO trip?

Here are some obvious suggestions:
Arundhati Roy (The God of Small Things has phrases in it that are
almost
identical to certain characteristic phrases in Lolita and Ada)
Martin Amis
Julian Barnes
John Updike
Gore Vidal (in his argument with scholars about his Lincoln novel,
Vidal
mimics Nabokov's "reach for my heaviest dictionary" statement in the
Wilson
debate)
Anthony Burgess
Erica Jong (the trip around Europe in Fear of Flying is a deliberate
parody
of the trip around the US in Lolita)
