I have been greedily devouring the new Nabokovian, featuring some spectacular new notes and articles. I particularly enjoyed Logan Norris's article on the location of Anti-Terra and Stephen Blackwell's very convincing, delightful explanation of why Lolita likes bacon.

SB writes: "Recall, too, that Bacon is also cited in Pale Fire as the intermediate source of the aphorism, 'It is the glory of God to hide a thing, and the glory of man to find it.'"  I suspect that the novel noted here should be Bend Sinister, not Pale Fire, correct?  Jansy Mello quotes the portion here:
