Who are the three novelists Nabokov praised who are still alive? (I'll answer below shortly but curious to see what people guess).

So the three novelists Nabokov praised who are still alive are Edmund White, John Barth and Herbert Gold. Nabokov had Pynchon as a student but I don't think praised him. Also, tangentially, Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a student.

I seem to recall Nabokov praised Pynchon for the humorous names of his characters, such as Dewey Gland.

Do you remember where? In any case, that seems like dubious praise.
