of course, Nabokov taught a little Joyce and Flaubert and so on; he
was not allowed to teach American Literature, apparently--an
invaluable loss to literature that. Imagine those lectures? Could they
be any more strident than DH Lawrences's Study of American Classics?

Plater, William wrote _The Grim Pheonix_ an excellent study of Pynchon

Lawrences's posthumos papers, also titles Pheonix.
