RES: [NABOKV-L] Andrew Field's Archive
From
Date
Body
If Andrew Fields files are at the Berg perhaps his original transcription
of the tapes might be there, too. It makes sense to me to suppose A.Field
had the tapes transcribed at that time before he set to work on them. Lots
of off the cuff material just lying in wait?
Lets hope so.

Assunto: Re: [NABOKV-L] Andrew Field's Archive
Option c would have been my first guess, merely because I hadn't had
occasion to consult Field for about a quarter-century and because Nabokov
knew that a biography could be an important part of his after-image and he
didnt want his casual (and therefore to his taste eminently revisable)
reminiscences to be immortalised there. But I had forgotten Field, Life in
Art, p. 11, where Field writes On occasion I used a recording machine, most
often not. VNs own response at this point in Fields typescript was to
change to: On occasionthree or four times, perhaps.
As Germanys Mr Nabokovian, Dieter E. Zimmer, often warned readers in Die
Zeit, electronic media are far from durable. Whether 45-year-old tapes
recorded before good noise-reduction mechanisms had been commericalized
would now yield transcribable dialogue I dont know. I recall Field
suffering flood damage to his archive at some point.

As far as I know, there are no tapes. Theres a written biographical
interview; Nabokov was even less inclined to speak off the cuff, to have his
causal words set down in permanent form, when he was talking about his past,
his county, his family.

Dear List,
I'm wondering if anyone knows of the location of Andrew Field's Nabokov
materials that were auctioned some time ago. Does anyone know whether the
materials contained the tapes of Field's interviews with Nabokov?
Thank you very much! Fran Assa
