EDITOR'S NOTE. Although others may have responses, I would suggest the
chapter on ADA in the second volume of Bryan Boyd's VN biography. John
Updike's review is republished in one of collections.

My book club is currently reading ADA. Any suggestions on criticism to
read prior to our discussion? Most of the members are not interested in
the more in-depth readings that literary scholars may give to a
text--they need a few basic concepts to understand Nabokov's intentions.
Help-- and enlightenment -- would be greatly appreciated.
