Dear Don,
>Michel Houellbech, the notorious French novelist who is apparently the
>best-known French writer world-wide (for reasons that I can't understand)
>is publishing another novel entitled "La Possibilité d'une île" (a bad
>novel, judging
from the exerpts I have read) in which he considers Nabokov as a "mediocre
and affected pseudo poet". Almost a compliment coming from a writer like
him.

Best,

Maurice
