I have a question. What makes hemophilic readers of Nabokov insist on
human failure, however rare, in Nabokov? Can't they just agree to
disagree? Isn't it a sign of politically correct to press and press and
press their views on the rest of us, differing in views and values,
until we are busy enough not to want to answer any more? I suspect that
Nabokov had in mind very much alive future readers when choosing the
characters for Lolita, Pale Fire, Ada. I salute his prophecy.
