Another proof that education can not undo the effects of 'bad upbringing'. English/American literature was hammered into me. Though I loved drama and even poetry but couldn't bring myself to like the novel. It all started with reading
A Hero of Our Time (Mikhail Lermontov) at the impressionable age of ten and after that it was a slippery slope!
I knew my post would cause controversy but Nabokov's American citizenship was far from my mind when I wrote it. Obviously he is very, very European. Still the fact remains that he became an American and wrote in English. These people always cause confusion (Eliot, Auden, Nobokov etc).
