I admit, I'm not too familiar with Nabakov, but I've always been curious about him. I got about halfway through "Mary," then had to stop because the sememster started up. Can anyone tell me which book Sting (of the Police) refers to in "Don't Stand So Close To Me" when he says: "It's no use He sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the Old man in That book by Nabokov." --Kari
