Query: Nabokov and Kierkegaard
From

Body
hello all,
I was wondering whether anyone knew of articles or books dealing
with Nabokov's relation to philosophy generally, to existentialism, and
in particular to Soren Kierkegaard. Both Kierkegaard and Nabokov
make use of Anderson's fairy tales, and I was hoping to draw some
parallels between them using Anderson as a link. However, I'm not
sure whether Nabokov would have had any contact with Kierkegaard's
works, or what he thought of Kierkegaard's brand of philosophy.
Thanks very much for any help on this subject.
