Dear Grigori Utgof
Perhaps you might like to read (in French) my book La Figure de l'auteur
(Paris: Ed. du Seuil, Collection "Poitique", 1994) on this question of the
"death of the author" and Nabokov. I proposed the first version of this
discussion in Textual Communication: a Print-Based Theory of the Novel
(London, New York: Routledge, 1991). I am preparing a new book in English
on this subject. During the defense of my dissertation on Nabokov at the
Sorbonne, Barthes, who sat on the pannel, gave signs of never having read
Nabokov, being presumably biaised against a White Russian.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
M; Couturier
Editor in Chief of the forthcoming Pleiade edition of VN.
