Dear List:

 

I thank everybody for their thoughtful and very useful responses to my query about the third telephone call in "Signs and Symbols."  For the conference paper I will deliver  28 March, I will leave it as “undecided,” which now, after reading all the responses on the listserv, is my new position.  The paper focuses more on “Details of a Sunset” and “Cloud, Castle, Lake” anyway.  This summer I hope to expand that paper into a full-fledged article, wherein I will take into account everybody’s views.

I do know Vladimir Alexandrov’s work.  Unfortunately both Nabokov’s Otherworld and the Garland Companion were checked out of the library that I am dependent on.  I requested them through Interlibrary Loan—but we all know how slow or chancy that can be.  And I certainly will do my best to track down Yuri Leving’s Anatomy of a Short Story.
