Subject: Question regarding a VN quote
To:

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can help on the following:

There is a quotation from VN somewhere in which he describes how most of the
allusions in Lolita are French or English, and not Russian, that he kept
Russians out of Lolita...

I cannot remember where this is from...i would like to re-read this exactly
and in its entirety, and know where to find it.

Thank you in advance,
