NEW BOOK: Ada to Zembla: The Novels of Vladimir Nabokov (Endellion, 2022)

Submitted by david_vernon on Wed, 11/16/2022 - 04:38

Dear all,

Glad to announce my new book, Ada to Zembla: The Novels of Vladimir Nabokov, has just been published in the UK and US. It has a chapter for each novel, plus some supplementary ones on the other works.

My primary goal has been to create a readable and exciting book which can appeal to both newcomers and (hopefully!) seasoned Nabokovians.

Do hope some of you will enjoy it and will share with students and colleagues!
