Thanks, Tom. I've found a written approximation to "That's all folks!"
VN's Lectures on Russian Literature has L'Envoi explaining that his
outline of the 1920-1957 period was necessarily brief. "A great number
of artists went into exile, and, as it becomes very clear today, the
main wonders of Russian literature of our time have been produced by
expatriates. This, however, is a somewhat personal subject, and IT IS
HERE THAT I SHALL STOP." (my irritating caps)
Some folks have misinterpreted my query. H M Geguld used the phrase
(or similar) "I have nothing to add on this topic [Jekyll & Hyde
influence on Pale Fire]" I was seeking parallels in VN's writings or
interviews. I.e., on being asked an unwelcome question, perhaps for
the umpteenth time, on a particular topic, VN might well have employed
a similar 'put-down.' E.g., "Read so-and-so. That's all I have to say
about that."
