Body
With regard to reading Nabokov's American oeuvre in the context of the
Cold War, the Nabokov Society sponsored a fascinating session on "Crime
and the Cold War in Nabokov's Fiction" (which I helped to organize, and
in which I took part) three years ago at the annual convention of the
American Literature Association. (Dmitri Nabokov was ultimately unable
to attend, but his remarks were read in his absence.)
