Dear Jansy,
I summarized my thoughts about Bakhtin & VN in the EDNOTE to Laufer's
posting. I doubt VN knew B's work which surfaced posthumously

Dear Don,
concerning Mr. Lauffer´s message, I remember having read that Bakthin was an
admirer of Dostoevski, who he considered the only real example for poliphonic
writing and "dialogism". Therefore, it would be interesting to learn what
Nabokov thought about Dostoevski´ s "moral and artistic stupidity" in his
"Lectures on Russian Literature" where he analyses four of D.´s novels .Would
VN himself be familiar with Bakthin´s assesment of Dostoievski?
