"All is Well that Ends Well: Some Notes on the
Optimism of Pushkin, Tolstoy, Mayakovsky, Pasternak and Nabokov" (in Russian):
http://topos.ru/article/6767.
The little article serialized by Topos is a
by-product of my larger work on ADA ("In Wine is Truth: The Solution of the
Charade-Like Puzzle in Nabokov's ADA") that Log knows where and when will be
published, if it is to be published at all. Its second and last part is
scheduled to appear later this week. I hope you'll enjoy my
piece.
