Has anyone out there done some research on any influence Ouspensky's writings might have had on Nabokov?  Thanks much, Fran Assa



EDNote:
Fran,
A quick answer to your question:
Alexandrov, in N's Otherworld, and in his article in his Garland Companion to VN, and Dieter Zimmer, in "Mimicry in Nabokov and in Nature" (in Grayson, McMillin, Meyer, Nabokov's World, V. 1 (The Shape of Nabokov's World).  I also touch very lightly on the subject in my new The Quill and the Scalpel: Nabokov's Art and the Worlds of Science (Ohio State UP). There may others--additional bibliography welcome!
