As some list members already know, the new Russian edition of Nabokov's
plays and essays on theater came out a couple of weeks ago. It was
compiled and edited by Andrei Babikov, who also wrote a rich
introductory essay. Nabokov's essays on theater, originally written in
English, are translated by Babikov and Sergei Ilyin. Dmitri Nabokov's
essay "Nabokov and Theater" is included as well, tranlsated by A.
Glebovskaya. There are 95 pages of annotations by Babikov. Most
importantly, this volume presents the first-ever full Russian
publication of The Man from the USSR, of which previously only
the first act appeared in 1927, in Rul'. It also includes the
conclusion Nabokov to Pushkin's "Rusalka". ~Stephen Blackwell
