To anyone interested and willing:

I am an undergrad at the College of Wooster, a liberal arts school that
emphasizes independant study. In preparation for my Senior thesis, I am
writing a mini-thesis my Junior year. I decided to write about Nabokov. When
I stumbled on the Zembla webpage and the list-serv, I was thoroughly
overjoyed.

I don't know if this is common practice or against the list-serv purposes,
but I'm attaching a rough draft of my mini-thesis. Nowhere else could I get
so many knowledgable readers who are interested and dedicated to Nabokov.

The two things I'm most concerned about are overall coherence, and
accidental plagarism. If you have any suggestions at all, I would greatly
appreciate them, especially if they are about structure and focus or correct
crediting of ideas (some of my quoted page numbers are "9999," which is
simply to let me know that I need to go back, look it up, and fill it in, so
don't worry about that).

Please send comments directly to Jevans@wooster.edu so as to not gunk up the
list-serv. Thank you so much for your time and help. This is my first study
of Nabobov, but I hope that it won't be my last.

John Evans
