Dear all,
Glad to announce my new book, Ada to Zembla: The Novels of Vladimir Nabokov, has just been published in the UK and US. It has a chapter for each novel, plus some supplementary ones on the other works.
My primary goal has been to create a readable and exciting book which can appeal to both newcomers and (hopefully!) seasoned Nabokovians.
Do hope some of you will enjoy it and will share with students and colleagues!
