Dear IVNS members,
The International Vladimir Nabokov Society has been granted funds to support conferences each year. The Society will distribute an annual total of up to US$10,000 to support the operations of one or two conferences. The goal of the Society is to create and/or cosponsor conferences in all major regions of the globe, with regular rotation among the regions (especially between Europe and North America).
NB: James Ramey, co-organizer of the Symposium, would like subscribers to know that Joyce-Nabokov-themed papers and panels are welcome. Michael Wood has accepted to deliver one of the key-note addresses.

Colloque international « Vladimir Nabokov : Histoire et géographie »
6-8 juin 2019, Paris, Sorbonne Université/Université de Cergy-Pontoise
Organisé par la Société française Vladimir Nabokov
Exciting news for Nabokov scholars and students: the final material left in Dmitri Nabokov's possession at his death has been gifted by the Vladimir Nabokov Literary Foundation to Harvard, Dmitri's alma mater, where his father worked both as a lepidopterist and literature professor. The material will be available for researchers in 2019.
Here is a blog announcing the gift and introducing a sample item, a Russian grammar Nabokov used for teaching.

The American Comparative Literature Association is organizing a seminar on Nabokov's Lectures, “The Center of This or That Masterpiece": Nabokov's Lectures,” presumably for its annual meeting at Georgetown University, Washington DC, March 7-10, 2019 . To see the CFP, click here. Paper submissions through the portal close very soon, September 20.
A new section on the Nabokovian website has been set up: Reading, to include what Nabokov read and when, and his evaluations, analyses, and uses of this reading. Read, and discover some surprises!
And please contribute! At present this important new facility has no editor. If you would like to become the editor responsible for this page (anyone signed up to the website may create or edit any individual contributions), please contact the website's editor, Dana Dragunoiu.
