What a good review of this very interesting man. Living near Cambridge Massachusetts, I've seen his Blue series of butterfly at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. When visiting Telluride Colorado I think I figured out where he was hunting butterflies atop a ridge when he wrote of the children playing that he mentioned at the end of Lolita. Thanks for this.
...no jelousy or envy .-in a documentary about him - ..I think it is a russian idealist thing among others...his roots the russians....the grimp depressed cold people who don t care about others life...russians can be very cold people withouth empathy for anyone or anything learned from dosto and tolstoy and URSS and nabo..
