ANNC: Articles on Nabokov and Mandelstam

Body
The May issue of Numero Cinq contains an essay that I wrote on Nabokov's Lolita and its inflammatory subject, a response of sorts to the Cossack vandalism from earlier this year. The essay is churlish at times, but on the whole cheerful. While I offer what I think is a spirited defense of the novel, the article has an informative purpose: to bring together in a single place many of the major flare-ups of the debate. It might not interest Nabokov scholars as much as Nabokov's fans, but I was thinking that it might be a nice resource for students. The article also includes some thoughts on Mister Morn and The Enchanter.

The same issue of Numero Cinq also contains a thoughtful article on the poems of Osip Mandelstam.
Best,
