In response to two recent items:

Re: Loris Binotto's query about an Italian Camera obskura translation.

Don must have spilled his coffee over p.571 of my bibliography. It does
state "Traduzione di Alessandra Iljina" for the 1947 Italian
translation,
"Camera oscura" from Muggiani. I later learned that it is in wrappers
with a
dust jacket in the series "Narratori e prosatori, italiani e stranieri".


Re: Sandy Klein's reference about installation artist Barbara Bloom.

Barbara Bloom, is, if I remember correctly, the artist who created a
perforated sheet of Nabokov "stamps" for one of book dealer Glen
Horowitz's
catalogs/books. It was in conjunction with the New York Public Library
Nabokov centennial exhibition in 1999 or Vera's Butterflies, or one from
that time. I am far, far away from my books and references right now and
cannot doublecheck this.
