Pale Fire
looking for a near-life experience

"Nabokov, in almost all his nineteen novels, gives you his best chair and his best wine and his best conversation. Compare that to Joyce, who, when you arrive at his house, is nowhere to be found, and then you stumble upon him, making some disgusting drink of peat and dandelion in the kitchen."

— Martin Amis
