Okay.  Any other Nabokov readers out there?  I have read a choice few of his
works now and discovered that all of his works have a young nymphite who, at
some point, drags her little body over some older man's body (Lolita, of
course, and Emmie in Invitation to a Beheading.  Now, before I thought that
Lolita was a singular case in his work.  Are there more situations like
this?  This is not a Salinger love of innocent children and if it is it is
taken to a rather odd level.  Just wondering if anyone has seen any
literature on this specifically.
