Subject: NABOKOV 101 at St.Petersburg Nabokov Museum
EDNOTE. I would like to say a few words in
connection with the NABOKOV 101 program. It offers a superb opportunity
to (re-)read Nabokov's writings and attend lecture series by
two of the world's top-ranking Nabokov scholars, Alexander Dolinin & Julian
Connolly. All this in the house that VN grew up in and in the country summer
house that VN inherited from his Uncle Ruka. Reading VN's autobiography and
visiting the many "Nabokovian" places in the city and the nearby
countryside. Petersburg, celebrating its 300th anniversary, is one of the
world's great cities.
The program is a splendid setting to get acquainted
with other Nabokovians from around the world. I have had the privilige of
co-teaching NABOKOV 101 with Alexander Dolinin and can unreservedly
recommend the program.
The program is open to anyone interested in Nabokov
and is capably administered by Museum Director Tatyana Ponomareva who may be
reached at <azint@mail.wplus.net>.
