Welcome to the official site of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society (IVNS). You can access most of the site as you wish, but to add to or edit material wiki-style, as we would love you to do, you will have to register to the site by following the protocol spelled out below.
Introducing a new feature: read classic materials from the archives of the print version of The Nabokovian. Selected by the site's editors, contents will be featured free of charge and will vary quarterly. Full access to all of the print and electronic issues of The Nabokovian are available on this site to members of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society (IVNS). To join, please go here.
Our second feature is Nabokov's poem "Shakespeare," translated by Dmitri Nabokov. Enjoy your reading!
From the editor of The Nabokovian's Notes and Brief Commentaries:
The next edition of The Nabokovian's Notes and Brief Commentaries will be published on February 1, 2022. The Deadline for Submission is December 1, 2021. Please send all submissions to me at naiman@berkeley.edu.
Dear Nabokovians,
The Annotations for Ada Pt 2 Ch 5 (Lucette's visit to Van at Kingston) are now available here on this website, the longest set of annotations yet to the most complex chapter so far. The notes have now reached almost 2/3 of the way through the novel.
Wellesley College has, at happy last, agreed to finalize dates for the Hidden Nabokov conference next summer: we apologize for any anxiety our long silence on this may have caused. The conference will take place June 15-19 (Weds-Sun, with most or all events Thurs-Fri-Sat). Lodgings will be available on-campus; some will be air-conditioned.
Dear friends:
Please find the link to the program of the Nabokov Readings conference. Please excuse us for so much delay. This was caused by an unusually large number of last-minute changes (cancellation of all offline events due to the raging "third wave"). The full program of all the events is available at http://nabokovreadings.ru/ The past conferences and our monthly Nabokov seminars are available at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoC3LED5csTl9qg91iKKJaQ
