Professor Nabokov: A Review Essay
by Stephen Jan Parker
[Steve Parker (1939-2016) was a student of Nabokov's at Cornell, and a Professor at the University of Kansas; he was the founder of the Vladimir Nabokov Society (as it was then called) in 1978, and of its newsletter long edited by him, which became The Nabokovian and eventually "TheNabokovian.org."]
One may presume that with the appearance of Lectures on Russian Literature (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich & Bruccoli Clark, New York, 1981), following Lectures on Literature (1980), the public has now been given what is expected to be the complete record of Vladimir Nabokov's classroom teachings. If this is the case, then the reader of the two volumes of Lectures will come away with incomplete knowledge of both the content and approach that Nabokov brought to his courses. [Read More]

Dear All,
my book about Nabokov and Germany - "Vladimir Nabokovs Eigenwelt. Deutsche Bezugspunkte einer russischen Künstlerexistenz" - was published on 16.05.2022 by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht.

I hope, it will find interest among Nabokov admirers who speak/read (in) German.
Kind regards,
Andrey Kotin
Dear Nabokovians,
A new instalment of the Ada annotations, 2.7, including a fart joke you may have missed, is now available on the website here. That makes 50 chapters—oof! And simultaneously, 2.5 now becomes available on AdaOnline, a long and dense chapter with many illustrations.
Thanks once again to Steve Blackwell and Diana Makhaldiani for meticulous corrections and astute suggestions.

Dear colleagues,
I’m happy to announce the publication of my new volume,
Stephen H. Blackwell. “Calendar Anomalies, Pushkin and Aesthetic Love in Nabokov.” The Slavonic and East European Review, vol. 96, no. 3, 2018, pp. 401–431. JSTOR, JSTOR.
A gripping account of the 1948 abduction of Sally Horner and the ways in which that crime inspired Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel Lolita.
Sarah Weinman will talk about her new book with Dana Dragunoiu on Thursday, September 20, at 6:30 pm at the Ottawa Public Library, Sunnyside Branch.
Princeton University Press has issued a cheap ($17.95, cheap by Princeton standards) paperback of volume 1 of the revised (1975) Nabokov translation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, in their new Princeton Classics series, aimed at students; pagination, except for the front matter, remains the same as in previous editions. There is a new foreword by me.
Dear Nabokovians,
We are happy to announce the publication of the Nabokov Online Journal, Volume XII, 2018.
It is now available here: http://www.nabokovonline.com/.
