EDNOTE. Some time ago I ran across a reference to a
special issue of the Iranian journal _Samarkand: Quarterly Journal Culture and
Art_. The editor,Tooba Satei, kindly sent me two ssues: one devoted to
Nabokov; the other to Beckett. The contents, apart from a supplementary
table of contents, is in Iranian. The handsome, well-illustrated journal appears
to be largely translations of excerpts from VN's work plus articles by
Iranian and foreign authors. Iner alia. there is an interview with Azar
Nafisi.
Page two of the English table of
contents follows in a separate message.
