Subject: dismemberment?
To: Vladimir Nabokov Forum
Suffice it to say that Livry has called Dmitry Nabokov "a small Oedipus
still struggling with his father's shadow," while Nabokov has described
Livry as a hardened criminal who once planned to kill and dismember his
ex-wife and her lesbian lover. (from Moscow Times)
Is there any truth in this (the dismemberment plans)?
Sincerely,
