The day's mail yields the following VN citations. 1) SEEJ, 37,2, p. 270
mentions: David Bethea, "Bulgakov and Nabokov:Towards a Common
Perspective," in TRANSACTIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION OF RUSSIAN AMERICAN
SCHOLARS, vol 24, NY: Assoc. of Russ.-Amer. Scholars, 1991. 2) SLAVIC
REVIEW, 52,2 (Summer 1993) cites: a] Iurij Apresjan's "ring analysis of
Nabokov's DAR" which the reviewer describes as one of the two best
articles in IN HONOR OF PROFESSOR VICTOR LEVIN: RUSSIAN PHILOLOGY AND
HISTORY, eds. W. Moskovich et al. Jerusalem: Praedicta, 1992 (p. 412) & b]
"Sergei Davydov's close reading of Nabokov's DAR as a statement of the
writer's Pushkinian creed is engagingly readable" (400). 3) Francis O.
Mattson, the Curator of the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library
tells me that most of the VN literary manuscripts have been catalogued and
work on the correspondence will begin shortly. Due to the expense of
photocopying the thousand plus catalogue cards, they can not yet be made
available. A rough discription of the Nabokov Archive may be found in
James Goldwasser, "The Vladimir Nabokov Archive in the Berg Collection of
the New York Public Library," in THE DICTIONARY OF LITERARY BIOGRAPHY
YEARBOOK FOR 1991, pp. 186-190. 4) On the same subject I (DBJ) would call
your attention to the articles on the Archive by Dmitri Nabokov and Brian
Boyd in BIBLION: The Bulletin of The New York Public Library. vol. 1, no.
1 (Fall 1992).
