DN feels he must say the following. While he has nothing personally
against Mme. Malikova, and is aware of her publication's history, he sees
little use for such grab-bags, particularly when the inclusion of the
venomously vindictive Ms. Shakhovsky insults the very concept of
"objectivity", the citation of Adamovich is a backhand into the net unless
accompanied by VN's hilarious fictional smash, and the Russians don't
bother to publish ready and translated Boyd as an antidote to the
biographical monstrosities of Shakhovsky. Nosik et al. DN also hopes Mme.
Malikova has obtained proper permissions for post - - 1973 items such as
the Kafka lecture.
