Nabokov is also mentioned in Perez-Reverte's Nautical Chart, and also in The Flanders Panel, which is deals with chess.

EDNOTE. I am reading a mystery by Spanish writer Arturo Perez-Reverte called _The Seville Communion_. The penultimate XIVth chapter has an epigraph from Nabokov's _Pnin_: "There are people---amongst whom I would include myself---who detest happy endings."
