Guillermo Cabrera Infante, a favorite of mine as well, alludes to VN's
Laughter in the Dark in his Three Trapped Tigers (Tres Tristes Tigres 1964):



What you have to do is to go on your way, all quiet and good, to the movies
-at least the real women you find there lead you to nowhere more dangerous
than a seat in the stalls.

They're just usherettes. Although in Switzerland there is this White
Russian, several times an exile, who has the idea that even usherettes can
lead to disaster. (p.436)



Earlier in this novel VN is mentioned by name and so is Humbert Humbert.
