In his "Reply to My Critics," composed January 1966 after the Eugene Onegin controversy, Nabokov commented on Edmund Wilson's attacking him for "my 'addiction to rare and unfamiliar words.' It does not occur to him that I may have rare and unfamiliar things to convey; that is his loss."
A nonmusician pretending to make music (see Eine Kleine Naughtmusik, D. Soldier)
Dolly died in childbirth in Grey Star, Alaska. Prior to that she had a lot of adventures and greatly enjoyed the plays of Clare Quilty, sugary confections, the Carmen-stars-bars-barmen song, does, bucks, moccasins, Dromes cigars (une femme est une femme, mais un Caporal est une cigarette), and throwing a ball for a small dog.
She has never been particularly fond of tennis nor of older men.
