What's up with Nabokov calling In Search of Lost Time a "fairy tale"?
I've seen multiple instances of Nabokov calling ISOLT a "fairy tale," including (if I remember correctly) in Pale Fire. It seems like incredibly intentional wording given how much he's repeated it, are there any ideas why he chose precisely that phrase when talking about Proust?
