I should have noted that the paper centers on Rozanov. Nabokov's use of
Rozanov is discussed toward the end. Moonlight People.


Have been thinking more about the Keith's shocking theory. 

Nabokov despite his conservatism definitely had no sympathy for
conventional morality and had no hesitancy about flouting it as he did
in Lolita.

Would he have planted a few suggestive lines in PF likely to catch the
eye of the careful reader but which on further examination lead nowhere?
(which many n-lister seem to see as the case)


Perhaps the implication being that child sex with adult family members
doesn't have the expected consequences after all.

Would this be irresponsible?
