From: Sandy Pallot Klein <taxi@flinet.com>
PLEASE POST ON NABOKV-L
SUBJECT: GENDER, CENSOR, CULPRIT
SORRY, BUT WHEN YOU READ NABOKOV, IT'S A QUESTION OF GENIUS, NOT
GENDER. OF COURSE YOU CAN TRY A DISMAL REWRITE "FROM THE GIRLS'
VIEWPOINT," LIKE MISS PEAR'S. THEN THE QUESTION BECOMES, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, LACK OF GENIUS. I DOUBT IF MANY HAVE STRUGGLED THROUGH TO THE
END OF HER 360+ PAGES IN THE ONE VENUE WHERE SHE GOT AWAY WITH THE
INFRINGEMENT, ALTHOUGH HER OPUS WAS THE SUBJECT OF SEVERAL COMICAL POEMS.
AS FOR THOSE PICKETING WITH REAL OR FIGURATIVE PLACARDS, THEY CAN CARRY
ON, SECURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE GOOSE-STEPPING IN UNISON WITH
THE PC - - HANDY ITALIAN INITIALS FOR _PARTITO COMUNISTA_ - - OF A
REPRESSIVE RUSSIAN BACKWATER. ALBEE'S SQUALID SQUITTEROO HAS LITTLE TO
DO WITH NABOKOV'S NOVEL AND MERITS LITTLE DEFENSE, BUT IN ONE SENSE THE
PRINCIPLE IS THE SAME: IMPOSING ON OTHERS ONE'S OWN NOTION OF WHAT SHOULD
BE SEEN OR READ.
AND IF WE WANT TO TALK PERVERTS, I'D GIVE HIGH BILLING TO A PARENT OF ANY
SEX WHO SCRATCHES SOME PERSONAL ITCH BY DOLLYING AN INNOCENT INFANT IN THE
WOLF'S MAKEUP OF WHORE FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY.
