"Phantom in Jerusalem: or the History of an Unrealized Visit"
by Yuri Zavyalov-Leving pp. 30-44
(Starting in 1970 the Nabokovs were invited to visit
Jerusalem and stay in its famed Mishkenot Sha'anamin, an
elegant guest house for honored foreigners. Over the years
there was an extended exchange of letters on the planned
visit. Although the Nabokovs' accepted the invitation, first
the pressure of commitments and then failing health made the
trip impossible.}
ANNOTATIONS & QUERIES, edited by Gennady Barabtarlo pp. 45-55
1."William T. Stead's Paper Crimes," by A. Bouazza (NL)
(A fascinating proposal that VN's father's article entitled
"Carnal Crimes" [cf. _Speak, Memory, p. 178] was suggested by the
writings of Steadman, an assistant editor of the London _Pall Mall
Gazette_, on child prostitution in the 1880s.)
2."Why Darwin Slid into the Ditch: An Embedded Text in _GLORY_,
by Charles Nicol (Indiana State Univ.
(Nicol convincingly argues that dARWIN'S ditch slip echoes a
passage in Pushkin's long mock-medieval romantic "Ruslan &
Liudmila," and goes on to show how this nougat supports his own
interpretation of the novel.)
3. "Hermann Lande's possible Prototypes in THE GIFT," by Gavriel
Shapiro (Cornell)
(Shapiro locates and explicates three possible prototypes of
Hermann Lande who is a prospective publisher for Fyodor's scandalous
biography of Chernyshevsky.
ANNOTATIONS TO _ADA_ #7, by Brian Boyd pp. 56-66
(Boyd continues his series. The present installment covers Part I,
chptr 7. Anyone who undertakes ADA without Boyd's notes at
hand is missing half the fun [and, if writing about ADA, is in
peril of making a fool of him/her self].)
