Dear All,
 
Yes, I was at the 1983 Cornell conference too. Borges seemed to evade the fact, in question time, that he hadn't read Nabokov, rather than to admit it outright. I couldn't help thinking as I watched and squirmed that in a similar situation VN would never even have considered accepting an invitation and travel expenses.

Dear Don and Jansy,
 
I was there and it is true: as I recall, only slight, passing mention at Cornell in '83. Struck me as odd.
