Dear Nabokovians:
As you may have suspected, a number of obituaries have appeared in the German press in the wake of Dieter E. Zimmer’s death. Here are four of them, kindly sent to me by Nassim Balestrini, Sabine Baumann, Marta Arnal Gas, and Brian Boyd. If you come across others, please send them to me so I can add them to the list. You may also wish to read the obituary posted to our site three days ago by Brian Boyd. And if you wish to send your own tribute to this great titan of Nabokov studies, please send it to me for posting (dana.dragunoiu@carleton.ca).
