C. Kunin: Thinking of Pnin, does anyone recall the word/expression Nabokov invented to indicate the precarious state of Pnin's existence?
JM: One of the things that puzzles me is VN's emphasis about the smallness of Pnin's feet.
CK Bailey is too intelligent to be swayed by that toad [Sartre]. By the way, I once got very angry with VN for his dismissal of such wonderful writers as Pasternak and Albert Schweitzer, the latter of whom was related to Sartre.
JM: Do you think that VN's critical appraisals and curt dismissals of writers would be another point to consider in relation to Bailey's silence?
