Re: Alert!: Fuzzy read "Eugene Onegin"

Well, I don't think Fuzzy's holding part of the 4-vol
Bollingen edition, but he might be holding one of the 2 vols
of the abridged paperback reissue from the early 90s, which is
still available. It's about the right thickness and it has the
same oval device that surrounds the title (albeit in a
different place--maybe Fuzzy's holding the book upside down).
He's definitely got an edition that includes some sort of
commentary, otherwise it would be much thinner.
You can view the cover at
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691019053/103-8787004-5027031
and there is an interesting, literate discussion of the merits
and demerits of the translation in the first three or four
postings in the Customer Review section.
