-> EDITOR's NOTE. One of my more innocent pastimes used to be asking people,
-> especially Russians, about their "First Time" -- first time reading
-> Nabokov, that is. Below, Nabokophile Galya Korovina, owner of the New York
-> translation service "AmeRussia," provides an account of her first time
-> reading ADA, a reminiscence triggered by Art Spiegelman's NEW YORKER cover
-> for the issue containing the hitherto unpublished chapter of SPEAK,MEMORY.

-> The Art Spiegelman _New Yorker_ cover, December 28, 1988-January 4, 1999

-> I was surprised (just kidding) that neither Brian Boyd nor Andrew
-> Shaidlin checked the floor of the New Yorker production office to see what

Galya Korovina's reminiscence is The Top Joy that I've found in reading
Nabokv-l over some years and through many delightful and idea-inspiring
messages.

Thank you for sharing it, Galya, and many thanks to you, List-monitor
Johnson, for forwarding it to us.
