EDITOR'S NOTE. Brian Boyd, who is preparing annotations for the Library
of America Nabokov volumes, submits his last queries.
--------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------
The final round of queries for the current set of Library of America
volumes, this one containing Ada, Transparent Things and Look at the
Harlequins!:
---------------------------------
TRANSPARENT THINGS
31 a deux with the muzzled stuff
42 carnotzet
--------------------------------
LATH
22 Wells has a 'Mr. Snooks' that turns out to derive from 'Seven Oaks.'
98 "in the lonely hours of night," to quote A.K. Tolstoy
121 who found in this grotesque task a Kovalevskian "outlet"
200 Clystere de Tchekhov
------------------------------------------
My particular thanks to Dieter Zimmer, who has tracked through barren
countryside after some of the more tantalizing allusions in The Real Life
of Sebastian Knight, and to experts in airplanes and Augustine, birds and
books, etc., who have responded so far.
