Dear International Vladimir Nabokov Society Members, Recent Members,
and Future Members,
Due to extended deliberations within the Society's Board of
Directors, action on this year's Society-produced materials was
delayed until now. The Board has decided to authorize one more
print-only issue of The Nabokovian, after which--in 2016--
there will be a web site called The Nabokovian, which will
also become available as a print-option for those who wish to
receive it, as long as demand is sufficient and the Board continues
to support the arrangement.
In order to cover costs of one issue, to be mailed some time in late
January, and also some costs of the new Web Site, dues for 2015 will
be $20 for those in the US, $24 for those in Canada, and $28 for
those in other countries. We prefer that you pay via PayPal if
possible, but checks are accepted as well, as are Western Union
payments. Click
here to reach our payment page. US checks, written to
"Vladimir Nabokov Society," may be mailed to Stephen Blackwell,
MFLL, 701 McClung Tower, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN
37996. We may also be able to receive PayPal payments directly to
our membership address, nabokovsociety@utk.edu.
The deadline for submissions to Issue No. 74 of The Nabokovian
is January 1, 2016. The issue will be dated 2015. In addition
to Priscilla Meyer's "Notes and Brief Commentaries" (for which the call follows below), translations
of commentaries from editions in other languages than are especially
welcome. These could be serialized complete translations of full
commentary sets, or excerpts of particularly significant and unusual
observations from these commentaries. Permission of the original
author and publisher will be required. If publishers ask, the
publication will be private, not for sale, and non-profit, with a
run of about 150. It will subsequently, with 6-12 months delay, be
available on the new website to paying members of the Society.
Please email such translated commentaries to me, sblackwe@utk.edu.
This is also the final issue that will be edited by me (Stephen
Blackwell), and for future printed issues we will be selecting
another editor. The Web Site will have individual column editors,
but no "editor in chief". More details will be announced soon.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Respectfully,
Stephen Blackwell
Secretary/Treasurer
The International Vladimir Nabokov Society
