BIRTHDAY: How I first discovered VN
From
Date
Body
Sounds lovely (the balloons especially). I first discovered* Pnin *when I
was 13 years old - and so it goes!

[EDNOTE. How about everyone else? What was your first encounter with VN?
For me, it was discovering a copy of Lolita in 1970, at age twelve, on
another family's bookshelves while babysitting their children. And that
was that. -- SES]

Dear List,
As in years past, we will celebrate VN's birthday on April 23, one week
from today, with a whirlwind of bon mots, toasts, roasts, boasts, "mosts,"
and jokes.
We especially welcome favorite passages, visual tributes, parodies,
sightings, trivia contests, personal anecdotes of the "how I discovered VN"
variety, party games, and little-known Nabokoviana. In general, how would
you like to celebrate the fact that a writer named Vladimir Nabokov once
lived and now lives on in that reflected sky?
Please send your contributions at any time during the next week with "
BIRTHDAY" in the subject heading. I'll save them until the actual day and
then release them one balloon at a time.
Yours,
Susan Elizabeth Sweeney
