If I may toot my own horn here, in my article "Nabokov's Wiener
Schnitzel Dreams: Anti-Freudian Poetics in Despair" (Nabokov
Studies 7), I attempted to explore some of the historical context
behind VN's decades-long crusade against popularized Freudianism. I am
currently developing that project further, and would be grateful for
any thoughts or suggestions that article might provoke (detailed
discussions and ruthless critiques are most welcome off-list).

Galimberti . . . is free, again, of
the
'ethical' prejudices, enlivened by the spectre of negative fallout from
an unpalatable theory were it to prove truthful, which so worried
Nabokov here into spouting, oddly for him, the usual clichés.
