SLSL: Herbert Gold

[davemarc]

According to this webpage by Jack Sarfatti, Gold filled in for someone named
"Valdimir Nabokov" when Thomas Pynchon was at Cornell with Kirkpatrick Sale,
Richard Farina, Peter Yarrow, and others.

My apologies if this has been cited here before....

"I first met Herb Gold when I was an 18 year old physics major at Cornell.
Tom Pynchon was in some of my classes. Gold was filling in for Valdimir
Nabokov who was off writing the screenplay for Lolita. Herb introduced me to
European literature (Dostoyevski, Goethe's Faust, Tolstoy, Proust). I would
see him outside of class either in Willard Straight Hall or in Noyes Lodge
where Kirk Sale, Richard Farina, Peter Yarrow, Tom Pynchon and other
emerging literati and people of talent would gather."
