Dear Dmitri,

    Many thanks for the note. Am I correct in assuming you want it on NABOKV-L?

                                                Best, Don

Dear Don,

 

Regarding VN and "camp," Carolyn is right that the word is utterly incompatible with Nabokov. The same goes for "bitchy," which was recently used by a denizen of Camp Gay about my father. It is not sexually neutral, even if it rhymes with "kitschy."
