Dear List,

Once again, we will celebrate the anniversary of VN's birth, 115 years ago this year, with greetings, toasts, jokes, parodies, homages, and Nabokoviana.

This year, in particular, I invite you to contribute a quotation from a moment of happy celebration--or just plain happiness, involving tartine au miel or otherwise--in any of VN's texts.

Please send your offerings to N-L with "BIRTHDAY" in the subject heading, and I'll save them up and send them out on April 23.  Many happy returns!

:) SES

P.S.  I misspelled my address in my last "EDITORIAL" message.  Please send any requests to withhold a submitted post, or any other communications other than submissions, to this address: NABOKVL@holycross.edu.  Thanks!
