Jay Livingston:
About.com (

has an essay by Esther Lombardi on this with much the same material as the
mayumablogforbookworms that Jansy cites. The
about.com entry has no date, but it looks as though one of these authors
plagiarized from the other.
Jansy Mello: Thank you sending the link to David Wiley's
text "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Bloom: Proust, Nabokov, & the Tyranny
of Memory." (I didn't find the name Esther Lombardi) My impression is that
Wiley's is the original article since its quality is superior to Mayuma's
flighty fleuve of associations which could have relied on his observations
about Proust rather heavily (it's impossible to be sure, though. I hope first
impressions aren't simply another form of gossip!).
