“Vivian Darkbloom” is a minor character in a couple of Nabokov novels, which he uses as a sort of fourth-wall-breaking wink, the name being an anagram of “Vladimir Nabokov.” So, despite all evidence of merit, Pudlo’s arrogating himself the mantle of Nabokov. You may remember that he brought up Nabokov when he was pontificating about the proper way to write about adults having sexual relationships with children/adolescents.
Anyway, the anagram that seems most well suited to Pudlo’s dignity and serious is “Volvo Kimbardian,” and that is how I shall think of him.
