The Spring 1994 number (#32) of THE NABOKOVIAN is now out. The
current issue (88pp) includes Steve parker's round up of news of the
profession, conference paper abstracts, and a number of useful research
aids: 1) Brian Boyd's continuing "Annotations to ADA: 3, Part I, Chapter 3";
2) Robert Bowie's "BEND SINISTER Annotations: Chapter Seven and Shakespeare";
3) Roy Flannagan & Edward Malone's "Nabokov in Letters: An Annotated
Bibliography," consisting of references to VN in the correspondence of
various literary luminaries; 4) Peter Evan's bibliographic "Nabokov in Japan:
1985-1992". J. Morris offers a close comparison of the NEW YORKER's edited
version of "Signs and Symbols" and VN's own subsequent printed version,
while D. Barton Johnson provides a note on "Nabokov's Poetry in Occupied
Russia: 1943." Not to be missed is Gene Barabtarlo's account of an
IZVESTIA report of an 1994 excavation at Vyra and at the Nabokov Petersburg
mansion in a treasure hunt based on clues from PALE FIRE. [The excavation
of King Tut's tomb pales by comparison---DBJ.] Also of note is an account
of the Andrew Field libel suit against a London journalist and paper for
remarks about Field's VN biography.
Subscription to THE NABOKOVIAN (2 issues per annum) is essential
to anyone doing research on (or even mildly interested in) Nabokov.
Individual subscriptions are now $11 (institutions $14).
Subscription requests and submissions should be addressed to
