How disappointing that Aciman would say such a thing, since he's a really talented novelist and smart person.  I also heard him say disparaging things about Nabokov in his interview with Michael Silverblatt on Bookworm, though his slam of Nabokov doesn't bother me quite as much as this one does...

Ah, so much to say about this, including how certain media and literati still revel in taking pot-shots at Woolf. They could have put any snippet in the headline but of course chose this:
