    I've been reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and stumbled across this interesting article about his relationship with his gay brother:

    The gay Nabokov

    It's worth a read even if you've never heard of Nabokov or his work. Quite a sad story, really.

    Did you find anything missing from the article? I wish I'd been mature enough to do an essay about a subject like that at 15...

    I didn't really find much more than the article told unfortunately. If you read the autobiography there's a bit more, but not a ton.
