New Draft Pages: Nabokov’s Butterflies

Persisting, we move on to a new set of draft pages for the revised and updated bibliography: Nabokov’s Butterflies is a collection of 415 butterfly artifacts drawn from the three worlds of Nabokov’s life—the scientific, the artistic, and the personal—and displays them where they met and where they interbred. Included, mostly as excerpts, are memoirs, stories, novels, poems, lepidopterological articles, letters, essays, and drawings. This is also the one place in which all of Nabokov’s scientific works on lepidoptera (most in full) are readily available. The volume did not appear in the 1986 bibliography.

    I have the trade and the limited editions, and variant a of the British one as well. Unlike the latter one, the Beacon editions are not sewn, but “perfect bound”, unfortunately. I was so disappointed by the limited edition, which was poorly bound and for which I had paid a good sum that I wrote to the publisher, who, apart from a confirmation of having received my email, failed to respond at all.
