Subject
R: [NABOKV-L] News about The Nabokovian -- get well soon to Steve
Parker
Date
Body




[EDNOTE. Priscilla Meyer, who edits the "Annotations & Queries" section of
The Nabokovian, sends the following news about Steve Parker. Let me take
this occasion to encourage all Nabokovians to join the International
Vladimir Nabokov Society, entitling them to a free subscription to this
journal, or encourage research libraries to join as institutional members.
-- SES.]

Steve Parker broke his ankle in Chicago a few weeks ago, and writes that"if
all goes well I should be back to normal walking in about 6 more weeks. The
next issue of the Nabokovian will not appear until some time in January or
early February."We wish him a speedy recovery!--Priscilla

JM: Perhaps other non-Americans find it problematic, as I do, to subscribe
to The Nabokovian, or to Nabokov Studies, because payments cannot be made
directly using credit-cards. Is there some hope that we'll soon be able to
contribute to the Vladimir Nabokov Society without resorting to complicated
burocratic procedures that allow us to send money abroad?

I'm happy to hear from Priscilla Meyer that The Nabokovian shall soon be
walking around the world, as usual.

IRINA MARCHESINI: I have to agree with Jansy on this point. I find it
problematic too to subscribe to The Nabokovian or to Nabokov Studies: living
in Italy, I cannot send any cheque (I don't know if it can be paid in the
US) or money (there is a 99% chance to have the letter AND the money lost).
Even though I'd be more than happy to join the Society and receive the
journals at home, it is rather difficult for me to do so at the moment. I am
afraid that this is a major handicap for me, being one of the few (if not
the only) nabokovians in my country. As Jansy suggests, the use of credit
card would make things much easier. I hope that things will change soon.

And, of course, I hope that Steve Parker will get well soon!
