I. ANNOUNCEMENT
A. I am pleased to note that NABOKV-L is increasingly being used as a
clearing house for the exchange of VN-related information. Indeed, this is
the chief reason for its existence. Starting out as a a small group of
scholars, it has now grown to something approaching 500 people of the most
interests and backgrounds. All subscribers are more than welcome, but
perhaps a word is in order:
When information obtained from a posting on NABOKV-L and is used
in a publication, both the person providing the information and NABOKV-L
should be credited.
B. Once again I urge all subscribers to report their current VN-related
publications and those of others, as well as anything of interest.
------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Can some kind soul save me an hour of browsing by telling where the
city of Cincinnati (Ohio) is mentioned in LOLITA?
---------------------------------------------------------
III. The new _Slavic & East European Journal_ (vol. 40, #4 (Winter 1996)
conains several items of Nabokovian interest.
Foremost is Maxim D. Shrayer,'s "Pilgrimage, Memory, and Death in
Vladimir Nabokov's SHort Story 'The Aurelian" (pp. 700-725)
Mentioned in reviews are:
1.Tony Anemone, "Nabokov's _Despair_ and the Criminal Imagination."
(pp.753-55). In Simon Karlinsky, James Lee Rice, & Barry Scherr, eds. _O
Rus! Studia litteraria slavica in Honorem Hugh McLean_, Oakland: Berkeley
Slavic Studies, 1995, 530 pp., $50. Reviewed by Jerome Katsell.
2. M. Keith Booker. _Dystopian Literature; A Theory and Research Guide_.
