Re: Coates' review of Krushcheva's IMAGINING RUSSIA
From

Another of "Mr Goodman's effort", "doomed with the rest of its kind to oblivion [...] (in) The Lethean Library" as V puts it in RLSK.
"Khrushcheva professes to love Nabokov but she puts much more heart into thrashing him" (Steve Coates writes) and like Mr Goodman she seems to derive "grim satisfaction" from it!
I must admit I haven't read the book yet but it's so funny to see once more how relevant VN's characters can be!
