Hello all. Does anyone know if VN was aware of Pushkin's affection for *A
Narrative of the Captivity and Adventures of John Tanner* (1830), an
account of the life of an American boy captured by Ojibwa, who lived with
them for 30 years? Pushkin enthusiastically reviewed the French translation
in *Sovremennik* not long before his death (as detailed in Tatiana
Wolff's *Pushkin
on Literature* and Gordon M. Sayre's "Abridging Between Two Worlds").
