>Session Title: "The Nabokov Effect"
>
>This session will explore the rich legacy Vladimir Nabokov has left
>American literature. Papers are encouraged which trace echoes of his work,
>allusions, or similar motifs and styles. Since his influence on many of
>our most important "postmodern" authors has been quite significant, we have
>modern novels which owe a good deal of their subject matter to Nabokov
>(like A. M. Holmes's The End of Alice), or which play with structures,
>language and allusions (like Richard Powers's The Gold-Bug Variations). It
>will also be helpful to explore the way Nabokov's adverse reactions to
>non-Formalist trends in criticism (primarily for him, Marxism and
>Psychoanalysis) have continued to find resonance in the art-as-serious-play
>aesthetic of much postmodern writing (see Mark Leyner, for instance). This
>session will contribute to American literary genealogy, and has the
>potential to show links unseen before.
>
>Any and all critical approaches are welcome.
