On the May 9, NPR program Fresh Air, Terry Gross interviewed the novelist
Rick Moody. Moody several times mentioned Nabokov's influence on his
new memoir.

Novelist Rick Moody is the author of <italic>The Ice Storm</italic> which
was made into a film, and the short story collection
<italic>Demonology</italic>. He calls his new book, <italic>The
Black Veil</italic>, a "sort of non-fiction novel." It parallels Moody's
investigation of his own family's history of depression. He found that one
of his ancestors -- a clergyman -- was the inspiration for Nathaniel
Hawthorne's short story, "The Minister's Black Veil."
