The American Comparative Literature Association is organizing a seminar on Nabokov's Lectures, “The Center of This or That Masterpiece": Nabokov's Lectures,” presumably for its annual meeting at Georgetown University, Washington DC, March 7-10, 2019 . To see the CFP, click here. Paper submissions through the portal close very soon, September 20.

A new section on the Nabokovian website has been set up: Reading, to include what Nabokov read and when, and his evaluations, analyses, and uses of this reading. Read, and discover some surprises!

And please contribute! At present this important new facility has no editor. If you would like to become the editor responsible for this page (anyone signed up to the website may create or edit any individual contributions), please contact the website's editor, Dana Dragunoiu.

“Do the Senses Make Sense?”: The Five Senses in Nabokov’s Work

After the successful Biarritz conference on the topic, the French Vladimir Nabokov Society invites scholars for further contributions on the importance and significance of the Five Senses in Nabokov’s work, poetics and aesthetics, for the publication based on the conference.

Our site's archive of the NABOKV-L mailing list has been updated to include messages from November 2017 up until June 20, 2018. You can browse the new messages now, and in a couple days they will become searchable by our site's search engine.

Submissions for Nabokov and Translation 2 (Chapel Hill, Oct. 27-28 2018) are being accepted until July 1, 2018.
