Nabokovians: I have been on vacation for the last two weeks and during the
period before that the net was experiencing some technical problems. All
is now back to normal. I invite your contributions and hope to have new
material for you in the coming days. I am retransmitting the Table of
Contents for the inaugural issue of NABOKOV STUDIES which is now in the
hands of the printer and should be out around Thanksgiving. Subscription
information is at the end of the message. The continued existence of the
journal depends upon your subscriptions and those of your libraries.

Vol. I 1994
NABOKOV STUDIES
Table of Contents
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.
Julian Connolly---"Nabokov and Narrative Point of View: The Case of
`The Letter that never Reached Russia'."
Jane Grayson---"Washington's GIFT: Materials pertaining to Nabokov's
GIFT in the Library of Congress." The LC Nabokov Archive contains
both materials that were composed for THE GIFT but not used, and
materials for a second volume that was never written. The article
examines these drafts in relation to Nabokov's oeuvre.
D. Barton Johnson---"The Nabokov-Sartre Controversy" An examination of
the relationship between Nabokov's 1926 short story "Terror" and
Sartre's 1938 NAUSEA and the subsequent antagonism between the two
men.
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."
Charles Nicol---"Necessary Introduction or Fatal Fatuity: The Extended
Introduction to BEND SINISTER." Establishes a paradigm for Nabokov's
numerous introductions and devotes particular attention to subtexts in
BEND SINISTER's "Foreword".
Maxim Shrayer---"`Cloud, Castle, Lake' and the Problem of Entering
Nabokov's Otherworld. A close analysis of this story with
implications for much of the short fiction.
Jonathan B. Sisson---"Nabokov's Cosmic Synchronization and `Something
Else'." A study of Nabokov's key concept of "cosmic synchronization"
and the literary techniques he employs to convey his sense of the
otherworld.
Susan Elizabeth Sweeney---"Sinistral Details: Nabokov, Wilson, and
HAMLET in BEND SINISTER." The article suggests that Nabokov
incorporated elements of his relationship with Edmund Wilson into his
1947 novel.
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.
