1) Michael Wood, _The Magician's Doubts: Nabokov and the Risks of Fiction_
Princeton: Princeton UP, 1995.
This is the American edition of the volume published last year in
England by Chatto & Windus. and reviewed in the _Times Literry
Supplement_ 26 August 1994. The British edition has apparently not been
available in the US.
2) Jane Grayson in London has sent me a copy of a very nice brochure in
Russian put out by the Nabokov Foundation (Nabokovskii fond) in Saint
Petersburg in 1994. Entitled "Dom Nabokovykh" [The Nabokovs' House], the
thirteen page document, compiled by L.I.Broitman, E.I. Krasnova, & A.L.
Petrov, is a history of the site of the Nabokov family home at No. 47
Bol'shaya Morskaya Street in Petersburg. The handsomely illustrated
publication interweaves the architectural history of the houses on the
site from circa 1736 to the present, including historical information
about the succession of owners. The latter part of the brochure is devoted
to the house after its acquisition by Nabokov's mother in 1898 and
interweaves bits and pieces of Nabokov's memoirs and fiction into the
account as well as recollections of visitors to the home. The brochure
includes a picture of the Nabokov family coat of arms.
