New draft pages: Nabokov’s play, The Waltz Invention, published in 1966 by Phaedra. It was written originally in Russian as Изобретение Вальса [Izobretanie Val’sa] in 1938 and appeared in a thick Russian literary journal also in 1938. That is why it appeared as A19 in the 1986 bibliography.
New draft pages: Nabokov’s translations of Russian poems, Three Russian Poets: Selections from Pushkin, Lermontov and Tyutchev, published in 1945 by New Directions. It is A23 in the 1986 bibliography.
