Fw: Nabokov's reading list
Date
Body
EDRESPONSE. Alas, there is no such reading list. It is true that VN graded a
handful of classics--maybe half a dozen. Michael Juliar, Nabokov
bibliographer, has etablished a web site for registering all books VN read.
It is to be compiled by contributors and has, alas, not been much used. The
URL is: http://www.juliar.com/wnr Called "What Nabokov Read, " it could be
an immensely valuable resource for Nabokov researchers. I urge NABOKV-L
subscribers to contribute.
