Thanks for this. It's really long, I'll have to read it later. I
had heard the Freudian father thing and I never liked it. A father/son
relationship, definitely. That's the heart of most of men's problems, for
that matter of most all problems, not having had a real honest to goodness
father (simple and sweeping, I know, but I stand by it). But
Freudian, not even remotely, not here, not anywhere. Likewise Neider is
completely off the wall wrong in my opinion. I'm glad Nabokov rejects him
too, at least in this case. I'll read it more carefully later but it
seems like Nabokov and I might be of a mind. Thank you again for
this.

This may possibly be of interest.
