EDITOR's NOTE. NABOKV-L thanks Andrei Rogatchevski
<A.Rogatchevski@slavonic.arts.gla.ac.uk> for this additional information.
Although Nabokov was certainly not the secret author of _Novel with
Cocaine_, the book is not without interest both on its own merits and as a
possible case of VN's impoact on other emigre writers. Penguin is bringing
out a paperback edition.
