Vincent van Wyck,
As for the 1977 BBC interview, have you contacted the BBC on line? I would be
surprised if they did not have this on audiotape. They may not be able to
supply a typed transcript, but they keep an excellent archive and may be able
to burn a disc for you. They might need a fee for costs, but that should not be
much, and if you are connected with a university, the department you work in may
be able to defray that expense. Might be worth a try.

Dear Mr Barton Johnson
I received your email off the Zembla site
I was hoping you could help me with information regarding Nabokov's last
interviews he did before his death in 1977. One was in 1976 I think where he
discussed literature in general and his last with the BBC in 1977. I have been
battling to find them. The only ones I have go up to 1972. Do you know where I
can obtain copies of them?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,

EDNOTE. Strangely, the best collections of VN interviews (beyond STRONG
OPINIONS) are not to be had in any single English edition but in vol. 21 of
the
German Rowohlt collection works magificently edited by Dieter E. Zimmer. The
interviews are also collected (in Russian) in editor Nikolai Melnikov's
NABOKOV o NABOKOVE i prochem. Both works have full bibiographic details on the
first publication of each item.
