In "The Cambridge Introduction to Russian Literature", by Caryl Emerson, I
finally found a clarification for the absence of Vladimir Nabokov in the Russian
anthologies I had a chance to lay my hands on.
In his introduction Emerson wrote: "For reasons of space, the Russian
emigré community is excluded from this book (together with the Russian
aristocratic and very Russian genius of Vladimir Nabokov, who has stimulated a
Russo-American industry of his own).
There are four other entries about Nabokov, related to VN's words
about Pushkin and Gogol, an also concerning "...forbidden or
bowdlerized works from the world marked (the Marquis de Sade, Nabokov, sex
manuals), and warehouses of films never cleared for
release..."
