Dear Nabokovians and Fans of Nabokov Worldwide:

Elections for the next vice-president of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society will take place shortly. As you know, the vice-president becomes president after serving a two-year term. If you wish to vote in these elections and have not yet renewed your IVNS membership **for 2021**, please take the time now to do so. You may do so here:

14 декабря в 20 часов приглашаем вас на очередной Набоковский семинар. 

Тема семинара:

The Nabokov community mourns the loss of Deborah Anne Martinsen, distinguished Dostoevsky and Nabokov scholar. Dr. Martinsen's essay "Lolita as Petersburg Text" (Nabokov Studies 13 [2014/2015]) won, in 2017, The Donald Barton Johnson Prize for the best essay published in Nabokov Studies. Dr. Martinsen was 67 years old and battled pancreatic cancer. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her loved ones, Randall Butler, her husband, and Rory Butler, their son. 

From SEELANGS:

An exhibition entitled "Набоков. Возвращение." (Nabokov.The Return.) was opened on November 12, 2021 at the Pushkinskii Dom (Pushkin House) Museum (officially the Institute of Russian Literature) in St. Petersburg, to celebrate the arrival of the last tranche of important Nabokoviana (books, manuscripts, letters, memorabilia) remaining after the death of Dmitri Nabokov in 2012.
