Sandy Klein's reference to the "Iranian boom"*
stemming from Azar Nafisi's "Reading Nabokov in Iran" mentions an interview
with Orhan Pamuk by Lila Azam Zanganeh who is reportedly writing a
book about VN. In that interview Pamuk discusses his love of VN's writing.

(A year
or two ago I (DBJ) remarked a combined Montaigne-VN allusion in one of
Pamuk's novels on NABOKV-L.)
