The Art of Deception in Nabokov's Ada

40th Anniversary Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
Feb. 26-March 1, 2009
Hyatt Regency, Boston, Massachusetts

Vladimir Nabokov's novel Ada involves authorial deception on multiple levels. Nabokov believed that the job of the author was not to portray reality, but to create it, and that is what both he and his protagonist, Van Veen, do in Ada. Papers discussing the author's role in the relationship between art and reality in Ada will be considered. Please send submissions (as MSWord attachments) to Sarah Kingston, sarahesanislo@aol.com.

Deadline: September 15, 2008

Please include with your abstract:
Name and Affiliation
Email address
Postal address
Telephone number
A/V requirements (if any; $10 handling fee)

The complete Call for Papers for the 2009 Convention will be posted in June:
www.nemla.org
Interested participants may submit abstracts to more than one NeMLA panel; however panelists can only present one paper. Convention participants may present a paper at a panel or seminar and also present at a creative session or participate in a roundtable.
