I don't think so. Keaton's reference to VN is in relation to Allen's
having a girlfriend who's still in high school. ("Somewhere Nabokov is
smiling, if you know what I mean"). The "Academy of the Overrated" has
several other figures that the Allen character admires.
Here's the clip. The VN reference comes at about 1:50
