After a slight disappointment with Maar's book on Nabokov (Banville had raised my expectations too high), I passed to the next one which recently arrived in my distant shores (not any shore around here, actually). The beautifully edited "Loving Dr. Johnson" by Helen Deutsch (The University of Chicago Press,2005).
In the fly-leaf I read: " LDJ uses the enormous popularity of Johnson to understand a singular case of author love and to reflect upon what the love of authors has to do with the love of literature." In her "Acknowlegdements," Deutsch mentions "to Sean Silver for the epigraph to Pale Fire...to Dale Peterson for help with Nabokov..."
In the index we find at least nine entries on different pages related to Nabokov, death of father, editor of Pushkin, editor and translator of Shakespeare, "on life and art,", Pale Fire, Speak Memory.
It seems that I shall have a very exciting and full week-end with Johnson, icons, Deutsch and ...Nabokov.
