authors under the influence

	Of course, Nabokov was of a diff. opinion re Proust's work.  While  
conceding it's superficial artistry, he thought it was fatally flawed  
from not honestly addressing the homosexual nature of the primary  
love story.

	I haven't read beyond Swann in Love.  Been meaning to and will when  
AtD is put behind me.  Many of you seem to think the new translation  
is the best so far?
