EDITOR's NOTE. Continuing the list of Russian VN publications generously
send to NABOKV-L by Svetlana Polsky.... .

I would remark that the rapidly growing number of scholarly (and other
Nabokov) articles in Russian (and other languages) suggests the hazards of
writing about Nabokov's work without knowing Russian. Brian Boyd's new
book on PALE FIRE shows clearly that a firm grasp of things Russian is
important even for studying VN's English-language works.

avtobiograficheskom zhenre u Vl. Nabokova. In REVUE des etudes slaves,
Paris Lxx/4, pp. 825-836. Although Boyd, Charles Nicol, and I have all
given more than passing notice to the Tristram (& Isolde) legend in VN's
work, Senderovich & Shvarts here provide the most thorough survey to date.
