Introducing a new feature: read classic materials from the archives of the print version of The Nabokovian.

Luke Parker published a verse translation (with introduction) of Nabokov’s poem “The Cinema” ("Kinematograf," 1928) in the Los Angeles Review of Books.
Adopting the modernist master Vladimir Nabokov as its guide, Nabokov in Motion: Modernity and Movement is an exploration of the radically changing social, historical, technological, and literary culture of the early 20th century, a time when modes of communication and transportation, especially, were changing society in drastic and profound ways.
Edited by Sara Karpukhin and José Vergara
