Stephen Jan Parker (1939-2016), a student in VN's Masterpieces of European Literature course at Cornell in 1958, became one of the first to write a PhD on VN (on the Russian novels), also at Cornell. In the 1970s he visited and interviewed Nabokov in Montreux and increasingly became a friend of the family, especially of Dmitri Nabokov.
