In his beautiful obituary, Brian Boyd praises, among much more, Dieter E. Zimmer’s generosity.

For many years Dieter Zimmer's website was the place where you went for accurate, well-documented information on a lot of things on Nabokov.

I am very sad to hear that Dieter has passed away. He was one of the first admirers and commentators of Nabokov, one of the most dedicated scholars on his works, his biography,  his butterflies, plus a rigorous translator.

Dieter Zimmer (1934-2020): noble, wise, driven by truth-seeking, mercilessly attentive to detail, an intellectual of the highest carat, a man of honour, a writer from God.

In Memoriam Dieter E. Zimmer
