Daniele Fabbri writes:

We know about the feud between Wilson and Nabokov. But in the early radiant era of their correspondence, Nabokov wrote to Bunny: "I liked your Tolstoy piece very much." (Nov 1, 1948) The piece was a Wilson's review of a book about Tolstoy (The New Yorker, Aug 28, 1948). The review's title was: "The Original of Tolstoy's Natasha". Is this title the original of "The Original of Laura"?
