EDITOR's NOTE. Below are some writers who write in the shadow of Nabokov. A
question of my own --- I've not read Arundhati Roy. Do any of you who have
agree (or disagree) with Kevin Fraier's suggestion. Also any thoughts on the
_Fear of Flying_ parallel to the HH/LO trip?

Here are some obvious suggestions:
Arundhati Roy (The God of Small Things has phrases in it that are almost
identical to certain characteristic phrases in Lolita and Ada)
Martin Amis
Julian Barnes
John Updike
Gore Vidal (in his argument with scholars about his Lincoln novel, Vidal
mimics Nabokov's "reach for my heaviest dictionary" statement in the Wilson
debate)
Anthony Burgess
Erica Jong (the trip around Europe in Fear of Flying is a deliberate parody
of the trip around the US in Lolita)
