Has anyone out there done some research on any influence Ouspensky's
writings might have had on Nabokov? Thanks much, Fran Assa
EDNote:
Fran,
A quick answer to your question:
Alexandrov, in N's Otherworld, and in his article in his Garland
Companion to VN, and Dieter Zimmer, in "Mimicry in Nabokov and in
Nature" (in Grayson, McMillin, Meyer, Nabokov's World, V. 1
(The Shape of Nabokov's World). I also touch very lightly on the
subject in my new The Quill and the Scalpel: Nabokov's Art and the
Worlds of Science (Ohio State UP). There may others--additional
bibliography welcome!
