Attentive CK corrected me: "Mukherjee's The Golden
Gate? The author is Vikram Seth (A Suitable Boy). The Onegin stanza
wittily realized in English and a pleasure." Thanks.
Dmitri Nabokov sent a reply to Jansy: no, there is
no link whatever between my Father's innocent "Mademoiselle O" and the
considerably less innocent Histoire d'O.
JM:
I'm puzzled. I never thought there was any link bt. Histoire d'O ( Réage), la
Marquise d' O ( Kleist) and Mademoiselle O.
I may
have written Mademoiselle d'O when referring to SM, Chapter
5, but it was a typo. Sorry.
