Dr. Van Veen, psychologist, in lecture mode:
Vladimir Nabokov, Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle (1969).
Nabokov himself famously said that his pencils outlasted their erasers. Not (contra The Atlantic ) in Speak, Memory but in a 1962 interview with unidentified journalists, published in Strong Opinions (1973): “I have rewritten — often several times — every word I have ever published. My pencils outlast their erasers.”
