VN SIGHTING: Berlin tennis courts
From
Date
Body
One from the trivia department: Berlin newspaper "Der Tagesspiegel" runs a piece about the tennis courts on Cicerostrasse, which are in decay and threatened by real estate speculation. The author, German novelist Peter Schneider, claims that Nabokov has given tennis lessons on exactly these grounds and also mentions the well-known photograph showing him with the Siewert sisters.
