Our French writer, Guy de Maupassant, author of the short story La Parure, i.e La Rivière de Diamants in Ada, could enter in one of your categories, I think.
Henry James in whom VN took sometimes some interest, even if didn't like his style and manierisms..
Best Regards,

I have the following question (probably, inspired by the discoveries
of Matt about Edsel Ford):
What is known (may be documented or, maybe, Dmitri could tell us
something) about the writers that VN did consider as second-rate
but took some interest in? They may belong to several categories:
for exemple, a category that my own
father used to call "single-book-authors",
but some others as well - e.g., somebody to narrow-minded or too
peculiar in his personal history or experience, but able to
produce interesting texts within this limited field.
I think VN mentions Leskov in this context somewhere.
But what about non-russian or emigrant writers?
Best regards to all -
