Thanks to Mr. Morrison for the title to the Updike novel. I remember
thinking at the time that a review of the novel should be entitled "RSVP
to An Invitation to a Beheading" and now see, from the current (Fall
1997) The Nabokovian and Alexander Dolinin's note, "Life after
Beheading: Nabokov and Charles Nodier," that perhaps Charles Nodier,
Vladimir Alexandrov, Vladimir Nabokov and John Updike are, or were,
brother satellites all orbiting that particular "other world."
