Vladimir Nabokov resisted reading his prose through the prism of sketches and drafts. However, the complex narrative construction of his works, their stylistic sophistication and ontological multidimensionality can sometimes be revealed to the reader only by comparing the initial conception and the final version of the artistic texts, be it a novel, a short story or an autobiographical narrative. "Mystery Writing: Nabokov. Archive. Subtext" presents an experience of archival interpretation of his writings from the late 1930s through the mid-1950s: the memoir "Other Shores," the novels "Camera Obscura," "Under the Sign of the Illegitimate," and "Pnin," and the short stories "Ultima Thule," "The Vane Sisters," and "Lance" through the codes or "keys" carefully hidden in Nabokov's manuscripts, diaries, and letters. The study includes the publication and parsing of the 1951 Diary, the author's rejected draft of the ending of the novel Camera Obscura, V. E. Nabokova's essay "On Dmitri's Childhood," skillfully woven into the last chapter of her husband's autobiography, and a review of Nabokov's correspondence with New Yorker editor Katharina White, which sheds light on the mysteries of "Pnin."
