An Nabokov item by the late Marianne Shapiro that should be brought to the attention of VN scholars. Since it appears in a posthumus collection of  her writings mostly devoted to  Italian literature, it  is likely to be missed by Nabokophiles: "From the Critic's Workbench: Essays in Literature and Semiotics"; Compliled and edited by Michael Shapiro. Peter Lang: NY, 2005.
 
Before her untimely death the author  had compiled extensive notes for a study of Nabokov's Lolita and Pnin. The notes and outlines run some eighty pages (pp. 349-434) and will be  of interest to Nabokov scholars.
