A recent issue of the Paris Review , devoted to the subject of
"humor," includes an essay by Melvin Jules Bukiet entitled "Squeak
Memory." From the Washington Post review:
Bukiet's affectionate, slyly humorous story describes a
down-at-heels young man who secretly follows
Vladimir Nabokov to a second-rate New York hotel.
I won't say what happens, but it's fun just to pick out
phrases like "the sinister bend of his path" and "as
warily as if I had been invited to a beheading."
