Well, my nephew Nick is in St. Petersburg, Russia, this week, collecting research for his thesis on Nabokov. And here's the snarky-top-this-e-mail he sends back from half-way around the world last night in response to my Kerouac news:
today...
...I'll eat lunch at the cafe at which Pushkin ate right before his ill-fated duel.
Eat your heart out Kerouac...
