And so to the next set of draft pages for the revised and updated bibliography: Стихи (1979) [Stikhi / Poems], his second such-titled book (the first being A2 from 1916). This collection of 250 poems and poem fragments were selected by Nabokov shortly before he died, but published posthumously in 1979 by Ardis. In the foreword Véra Nabokov gives information about the selection of the poems and points to Nabokov’s main theme of ‘other-worldliness [потусторонности]’. This Stikhi was A50 in the 1986 bibliography.
And on we move to the next set of draft pages for the revised and updated bibliography: Переписка с сестрой [Perepiska s sestroĭ / Correspondence with his sister], a collection of letters between Nabokov and his sister Elena (or Helene) published by Ardis Publishers in 1985. It was A56 in the 1986 bibliography.
