Dear Don,

Speaking of Banville & VN, his praise adorns Michael Maar's book. I wasn't able to google up anymore of it, though.  Here's what appears on the cover:

Michael Maar is a fine literary sleuth, and his discovery of what may be an ur-Lolita means we will never again look on Nabokov's masterpiece in quite the old light.
