EDITOR's NOTE. The posting here from Anat Ben-Amos <abenam@essex.ac.uk>
responds to my mistaken muddling of Sunny Otake's NABOKV-L review of
Linetskii's _Anti-Bakhtin_ volume (1 Nov. 1995) and Anat Ben-Amos'
NABOKV-L review of Barzakh's _Obratnyi perevod_ of 1 Nov. 1996. Anat
Ben-Amos here includes her comments on the Linetskii volume. I agree
that Linetskii would be an interesting addition to the list, if anyone
knows his whereabouts.
_________________________________________________________________________
Could you please note to the List that my review is of Anatolii Barzakh's "Obratnyi
perevod" ("Reverse Translation") and not of Linetskii's book, to avoid confusion?
As for Linetskii's book, the first chapters are very interesting,
especially "Portret avtor v zerkale" and "Nabokovskii Freud", and they
have some very intriguing comments on Nabokov (the later has an
interesting idea about "Podvig", a novel unfortunately usually
underrated). As for Bakhtin-Nabokov relations, these I think cannot be
found there. The book is more an "Anti-Bakhtin-pro-Derrida" work, and very
good as such, and Nabokov is only used to provide some textual examples -
it is a theory-oriented book rather than a Nabokov criticism.
By the way, does anyone have any information of Linetskii's whereabouts? At least
some of his chapters well deserve an English translation, and his unconventional
ideas could contribute to our Nabokov discussions (maybe in the form of informing
him of the List).
All the best,
