Also Nabokov's Fund is publishing collection of speeches read at all
St.P. Nabokov's conferences and invites those who participated to submit
the texts (up to 8 printed pages, foot notes in the end) to the Fund
till mid-May.
Sorry for the mistakes and boring tone - Nabokov's birthday combined
with Lenin's "subbotnik" and the late hour are telling.
Yours, Masha Malikova
