I am sending this message because this book fulfills the "relevant to Nabokov studies" description. It may require dialing your Naboko-scopes to a low magnification.  Forgive me for recycling if it has already come to your attention.

The book-  Fort Da  is published by FC2, ( www.fc2.org)  an imprint ( ?)  of the University of Alabama Press, 2009.  Notations are:  1. Neurologists-Fiction; 2.  Americans-Germany- Fiction;  3. Boys-Fiction; 
4. Cypriots-Germany-Fiction;  5. Psychological fiction;  6. Experimental Fiction.

Elizabeth Sheffield, the author,  teaches at The Creative Writing Program at The University of Colorado in Boulder.  The book ( Finally!) - Fort Da  has bold, perhaps crude, Nabokov (ian)  style and content.  I found it wildly imaginative  ( blind waiters,   Schlafzentrum)  and absurdly funny.  I am no scholar, but do have aspirations of understanding and enjoying Nabokov.  Enjoying comes more naturally to me.  Fort Da was enjoyable.

I wonder what you all will think of and will find in this book.  I think it worthy, which is what emboldened me to actually "participate" in this listserv.
