Coming to Know One’s Self




From the late Alfred Appel on Flickr.
Alfred Appel, the editor of The Annotated Lolita, handed this out during a talk on Lolita as an example of the trashy magazines Lolita would have read. He was a very charming speaker and told some funny anecdotes about time he spent with Nabokov. Appel passed away a few months after the conference — I was glad I got to see him speak.
