Carolyn Kunin [off-List to Jansy Mello: The posting about Maar that Carolyn refers to was distributed a long time ago...Carolyn, why can't you offer dates, references, context? It would make it easier for me to comment.] Who brought up my interpretation of Maar? Pas moi! therefore you should do the archival dives, et pas moi. I am busy busy busy. Why is everybody trying to confuse me, when all I want to do is ... well, never mind that.
Jansy Mello: Carolyn challenged me to find in the Archives her interpretation of Maar, in order to explain my own commentary to them.
Here's what C.Kunin sent two years ago: (Sat. 13 February 2010): " I just received my copy of Michael Maar's new book and am very pleased. Mr Maar seems to me to strike just the right balance of appreciation of Nabokov's genius and unique qualities with a nuanced scepticism of the master's pronouncements. He has noticed overarching links between works that I certainly had not noticed and that so far as I am aware have gone unnoticed by others. Very highly recommended."
I have no idea why C. Kunin objects to my observation praising her evaluation of Maar's book. Here are my own words, as recently quoted by CK: "But, Jansy if I may, I have no idea of what you mean by the following, and how I could possibly have anything to do with it. "I was happy when I read Carolyn Kunin's reference to "Speak, Nabokov" because, in her commentary, she stressed Maar's non-idolatrous vertex and the scope of his literary inter/intra-connections, favouring exciting inroads into VN's works." text/html - LISTSERV Archives at LISTSERV.UCSB.EDU https://listserv.ucsb.edu/.../?...
We've had, CK and I, so many hitches in our communication (server problems, I presume), that she must have confused what has happened in our exchanges in the List ( past and present): I was merely endorsing her words and happy to get a chance to be less critical of Maar (because of his pseudo-freudian conjectures). I hope my explanation is satisfactory now?
