"The settlement allows Ms. Pera to publish her book in the United States
and Britain. It allows Nabokov to protect his copyright interests in his
father's book, which has sold 50 million copies in at least 20 languages.

major issue raised in the dispute: How far can authors go in making use of
characters or scenes created by others?"
