A book published (in Russian) by Professor Aleksandr M. Luxemburg (Rostov State
University): "Reflections Reflected: Vladimir Nabokov's Work in the Mirror of
Literary Criticism." Rostov on Don: Rostov State University Press, 2004.
Here is a translation of the blurb:
The monograph analyzes the reception of the Russian-American writer
Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) by Russian emigre, American, British, Soviet,
and modern Russian literary criticism, pointing to the specific features of
the types of reception and their periodization. Study of literary-critical
publications forms a springboard for an analysis of the ludic nature of
Nabokov art, in the framework of a theory of ludic poetics.
The book addresses scholars in the fields of the theory and the history
of
journalism, the history of Russian and world literature, literary theory,
study of translation and cultural studies -- as well as all those
interested in the unique artistic world of Vladimir Nabokov, a great master
of games.

Last month (July 2005) Professor Luxemburg gave a talk on a possible
source of some names in "Lolita" at the conference of the Connotations
Society organized by Prof. Burkhard Niederhof of the University of Bochum
and Prof. Christiane Bimberg of the University of Dortmund. Another Nabokov
paper -- on Nabokov's poetry -- was given by Prof. Paul Morris of the
University of Saarbrueken.
