> EDNOTE. NABOKV-L thanks alert Phillip Maschke. How could 700+ Nabokovians
have overlooked this one? It also raises the hitherto unexplored question
"Did HH have halitosis?" And why has no one come to the defense of Kinbote
whom an anonymous party-goer accuses of the same blight after a
demonstration of certain Zemblan wrestling holds? I recall VN makes at
least one covert reference to Ralph Waldo Emerson, the father of
transcendentalism. Is there perhaps a VN dissertation lurking in all this?
