However, the short story genre occupies an important position in his work. After first appearing in prose as a short story writer during the early twenties, Nabokov continued to write short stories in Russian throughout the thirties. Most of them were first published in emigrant periodicals; die author later included them in three collections: Vozvrashchenie Chorba. Rasskazy i Stikhi (\"The Return of Chorb: Short Stories and Poems\"), Soglyadataj (\"The Eye\") and Vesna Î1⁄2 Fial'te (\"Spring in Fialta\"). All in all, Nabokov wrote about sixty short stories in Russian.","PeriodicalId":110136,"journal":{"name":"Nabokov Studies","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115709588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I am going to argue that the genesis of this seminal novella lies in a literal butterfly chase.

Gazing into the glass from the prewar side we might just discern, through the mists of conjured time, the reflections of Sirin's Russian novels—their Englished counterparts. For some of these spectral pairs, such as Mashen'ka (1925)/Mary (1970)2 and Priglashenie na kazn' (1938)/Invitation to a Beheading (1959),3 the reflected and reflection would be almost as alike and as indistinguishable one from the other as Tweedles Dum and Dee. But for one of them the superficial resemblances of similar titles and parallel plots would be treacherously misleading. A hasty or careless gazer might easily mistake the English \"version\" for a double of the original Russian, the earlier incarnation would be obliterated by the later and a duality misapprehended as a unity which in reality does not, and never did, exist.4 It has become a commonplace in Nabokovian criticism to say King, Queen, Knave to mean King, Queen, Knave/Korol', dama, valet.
