The inaugural issue of NABOKOV STUDIES, which is sceduled to
appear around Thanksgiving, now has a tentative Table of Contents. It
is not yet complete. Some items will be added, and some may be delayed
until the following issue. Not all titles are exact.
Joel Brattin----""The Intersection of McEwen and Wheaton: A Nabokovian
Locus Identified." The paper pinpoints the location of an epic row
between Humbert and Lolita in Clare, Michigan. Photograph by author.
Maxim Shrayer---"`Cloud, Castle, Lake' and the Problem of Entering
Nabokov's Otherworld. A very close analysis of this story with
implications for much of the short fiction.
Julian Connolly---"Nabokov and Narrative Point of View: The Case of
`The Letter that never Reached Russia'"
Leona Toker---"Liberal Ironists and the `Gaudily Painted Savage': On
Richard Rorty's Reading of Vladimir Nabokov." Argues that Rorty's
well-known essay misreads Nabokov in certain respects.
Stephanie Merkel---"Vladimir Nabokov's KING, QUEEN, KNAVE and the Com-
media Dell'Arte. An analysis of the early novel in terms of character
types and motifs from the Commedia."
Jane Grayson---"Washington's GIFT: Materials pertaining to Nabokov's
GIFT in the Library of Congress." The LC Nabokov Archives contain
both materials that were composed for THE GIFT but not used, and
materials for a second volume that was never written. The article (67
pp in typescript) examines these drafts in relation to Nabokov's
oeuvre.
Susan Sweeney---"Sinistral Details: Nabokov, Wilson, and HAMLET in
BEND SINISTER." The article suggests that Nabokov incorporated ele-
ments of his relationship with Edmund Wilson into his 1947 novel.
