Dear Mr.
Miale,
Yes, I am afraid you
are missing something obvious. Before getting involved in a political
debate on what is supposed to be a literary forum, allow me to ask
you two questions. Are you truly unaware of Chaplin's-well known
Communist sympathies and support of Communist causes? Is that not reason
enough for Vladimir Nabokov's attitude?
Dmitri
Nabokov
