I have a question regarding the location of Elphinstone in 'Lolita'.
Dieter E. Zimmer, in his "Lolita USA" website very convincingly places
Elphinstone in Utah. But Idaho seems a likely candidate as well.
Idaho's
nickname is "The Gem State" which fits Humbert's claim that Elphinstone
is
in "a gem of a western state." Also in the 'Lolita' screenplay Quilty's
car has plates from Idaho. Placing Elphinstone in Idaho would advance a
project that I am currently working on which makes me hesitant to
follow
this lead without thoroughly exhausting all possibilities.
Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
