About an author who has provoked his share of comment on this board, namely Vladimir Nabokov: http://tbdeluxe.blogspot.com/2011/03/nabokovs-gift-to-midnight-reader.html I do believe he has a "Gift" if you will. Again, thanks for reading, everyone! | ||

Fine piece, Thomas! Poppy Z. Brite is another colleague who learned from VN. Tell me you're one of the readers (alas, unlike me) who didn't need to be told the secret of Vivian Darkbloom... | ||

Thanks, Ramsey! Nope, I needed to be told like so many others . . . . (I keep trying to scramble my name into something clever and haven't come up with anything, except "Sam Crubhothielfd, or something else impenetrable.) | ||

I learned it from a book I read at uni called The Keys to Lolita so count me among those who didn't spot it without help! Nice article, Thomas. His prose does that to me too. **sigh** | ||
