Re: QUERY: Christine Rydel's _A Nabokov Who's Who_
From

Body
I think the idea itself is just great. On my behalf I can provide a list of characters of Glory / Podvig, Invitation to a Beheading / Priglashenie na kazn' (I'm in the process of compiling a series of VN bilingual concordances, which is more of a hobby these days).
Good luck with your disseration!
Best,
Grigori Utgof

The effort and the complexity of the endeavor are staggering, so a lengthy gestation is beyond understandable. (The last mention I found of it on the list is in 2001.) At any rate, it's such a wonderful idea: a catalog of every name and figure in Nabokov's oeuvre!

It's the kind of thing that may benefit from extensive, distributed collaboration.

I'm waist-deep in dissertation stuff, but I'm wondering if list members would be at all interested in this sort of project, if appropriate -- it seems like the sort of work that could prove useful.
