Fw: Fwd: Nabokov Moustache

While trying to google (vainly) VN's passport photo, I came across an
exalted review of ADA: http://www.chowk.com/show_picks_book.cgi?pbookid=87.
Its author says he would give his left arm if that enables him to write as
brilliant prose. Strange to think that I translated Ada into (almost as
good) Russian and yet managed to preserve all my limbs.
