You should read "Torpid smoke" by Nabokov.
Hits the nail right on the head, it does.

I am an uncultured thickoid and have never read anything by him
is it a novel, or a short story? I shall search my local library

It's a short story, can't remember how many pages but not many!
Well worth the tiny effort required!

it's not the effort so much
as trying to find it. Any idea which compilation it's in?

I'll ponder that, probably have a look on the bookcase when I get home...
But I think the collection is just called "the stories of Vladimir Nabokov".
