be distributed and the explanations you are now reading will be removed
automatically. If on the other hand you edit the contributions you receive into
a digest, you will have to remove this paragraph manually. Finally, you should
be able to contact the author of this message by using the normal "reply"

My book club is currently reading ADA. Any suggestions on criticism to
read prior to our discussion? Most of the members are not interested in
the more in-depth readings that literary scholars may give to a
text--they need a few basic concepts to understand Nabokov's intentions.
Help-- and enlightenment -- would be greatly appreciated.

I suspect that Don's recommendation of the Updike review is more
appropriate here than the section in Boyd--and a lot easier to xerox.
Another excellent review is Robert Alter's, which came out in
*Commentary* around September 1969. I think the lightest clear once-
over of the criticism is the section in Steve Parker's *Understanding
Vladimir Nabokov*. --Charles Nicol
