Nabokov's Lolita, Edmund Wilson, FS Fitzgerald, TS Eliot.
So, I did the job on Eliot's Jews and Freud's cigar and the Baedekered
and yellowed newpaper hat journalist, and how Nabokov, a wandering
Humbert from languages east of english came to america in search of a
pins in the map motel room setting for his butterflies to fly from,
and of course how fitz has these baedeker legs swinging beautiful and
damned mechanical bride limbs with precision or drinking under the
pools of light at james gatz's flat-ended egg, but did I mention
edmund wilson's europe w/o baedekers? Wilson ties all these writer's
together. Did young P read, study wilson?
