NP good luck with California

[Heikki R]

>From Edmund Wilson's letter to Vladimir Nabokov dated April 27, 1941, as
the Nabokovs are about to leave Wellesley for Stanford for a few
months.(Not without Pynchonian/Orphic resonances.)


"Our best to your wife and good luck with California. I have a fear,
though, that you may become bewitched out there and never come back — one
of the worst things that can happen in America to gifted Europeans Consider
the fates of Huxley and Isherwood (not that I ever thought much of Huxley).
You know, it is like getting into Yeats's fairyland or under the Venusberg."
