Re: Y B Pasternak's passing
From
Date
Body
I met Evgeny B. in the Hoover Archives. The first time I was stunned
because he looked like the old black and white photo of his father come to
life. His manners were gentle and quietly exquisite; he was a precise
scholar who knew every comma of his father's works. I visited him later in
Moscow to plan the digitization of some original Pasternak papers. After
concluding that negotiation, I showed him a color xerox of a
Pasternak holograph being offered to the Hoover Archives for sale. I was
worried that it might have been stolen and wanted to check with him before
buying it. Evgeny immediately examined it in detail, compared it with
various books. After about twenty minutes he looked up and quietly
announced that there were five characteristics of the script and text that
proved it was not from his father's hand. It was a story worthy of Nabokov.
