Random Nabokov sightings:
1) In the Univ of California Press1997 Literature catalog, the blurb for
Gavriel Moses' _The Nickel Was for the Movies_ (1994, $40) reads: "Moses
defines and explores "the film novel," a literary text in which cinema
provides the thematic, formal, psychological, and philosophical center. He
explores the works of the major representatives of the genre - Pirandello,
Nabokov, Isherwood, West, Fitzgerald, Moravia, Percy, and Puig." (U of C
Press, 2120 Berkeley Way, Berkeley CA 94720; 1-800-777-4726)
2) Edward R. Hamilton Bookseller, Falls Village, Connecticut 06031-5000,
offers _The 64-Square Looking Glass_, "an anthology of chess belles-lettres,"
for $7.95. Authors represented include Nabokov, Vasily Aksyonov, Borges,
Beckett, etc. Daedalus Books (P.O. Box 9132, Hyattsville, MD 20781-0932;
1-800-395-2665) also offers the book, for $7.98.
3) I received a mailing announcing "a major new Russian periodical,"
KOROLEVSKY ZHURNAL (ROYAL MAGAZINE). It promises in future issues "unknown
works" by a number of well-known Russian authors, including Nabokov. A
year's subscription (12 issues) is $48 (check to Royal Magazine, P.O. Box
2924, Rockefeller Center Station, New York, NY 10185-2924.
4) In The New York Times Sunday Crossword for Jan 26 (at least it ran in our
local paper that day; it's No. 0119, "Presidential Punditry") the clue for
60-Down is "Humbert Humbert's obsession," and the clue for 89-Down is
"60-Down's creator."
