Re: Nabokov and L. Trilling
From
Date
Body
I have always found Trilling's article deplorable: a paradigm case of
psychoanalytically corrupted misunderstanding of, and debasement of, the concept
of "love".
I didn't find the sound quality of the Nabokov-Trilling conversation
prohibitive. It was all too audible. I was deeply disappointed by Nabokov's
succumbing to Trilling's flattery and colluding with his psychobabble. The
would-be fierce opponent of the "Viennese quack" was seduced without a murmur of
protest.
I imagine Brian Boyd will understand what I am talking about, if nobody
else does.

think. Also, I've tried to watch the youtube conversation with Nabokov and
Trilling, but the sound quality is prohibitive. Does anyone know of a
source with good sound quality? Did the Nabokovs and the Trillings see
anything of each other socially?
