Welcome to the official site of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society (IVNS). You can access most of the site as you wish, but to add to or edit material wiki-style, as we would love you to do, you will have to register to the site by following the protocol spelled out below.
Introducing a new feature: read classic articles from the archives of the print version of The Nabokovian. Selected by the site's editors, articles will be featured free of charge and will vary quarterly. Full access to all of the print and electronic issues of The Nabokovian are available on this site to members of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society (IVNS). To join, please go here.
Our inaugural article is Gennady Barabtarlo's "See under Sebastian," The Nabokovian 1990.24: 24-28. Enjoy your reading!
After nineteen years of serving as Editor of The Nabokovian's feature "Notes and Brief Commentaries,” Priscilla Meyer has decided to step down. On behalf of us all, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Priscilla for her tireless work on the journal these many, very many years.
Shakeeb Arzoo in Kolkata, India, has done a selfless and heroic job of checking, regularizing and adding links and information to all the material in the existing secondary Nabokov bibliography. This had had many glitches from its original compilation and as a consequence of the complex job (undertaken by Dmitry and Alina Kirsanov) of transferring it from one computer system to a very different one. As a result of Shakeeb’s energetic, comprehensive, thorough and careful work we have appointed him Editor of the Secondary Bibliography.
Dear Nabokovians,
The next issue of my Ada Annotations, to Part 2 Chapter 2, is now available here (to logged-in IVNS members; you may become one here).
Part 1 Chapters 42 and 43 are now available hyperlinked and illustrated on AdaOnline. All of the annotations and essays relating to Part One, therefore, are now accessible online, another milestone on this long road.
Thanks to Bronwen Nicholson and Stephen Blackwell for editorial help and Dmitry and Alina Kirsanov for technical assistance.
On behalf of Priscilla Meyer, editor of The Nabokovian (Notes and Brief Commentaries), it is my pleasure to announce the publication of the Spring 2020 issue. Enjoy!
Access to The Nabokovian is restricted to members of the International Vladimir Nabokov Society. If you have not paid yet your membership dues for 2020, this is the time to renew your memberships. Thank you!
