From my wife who has to tolerate my reading her my weekly column, which went out today for publication tomorrow: That reminds me of something Vladimir Nabokov said in 1966 , in answer to the question "What is your greatest pleasure in writing?" There is the first satisfaction of arranging it on a bit of paper; after many, many false tries... The next pleasure is of reading it to your wife. She and I are my best audience, you see. I should say my main audience. After that, when the thing is published, I do imagine a number of people whom I like, whom I admire, with whom I feel close kinship. It is nice to think that those people are reading that, perhaps at this very instant.
