	Vladimir Nabokov - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Nabokov left Germany with his family in 1937 for Paris and in 1940 fled from the advancing German troops to the United States.
		Nabokov was a synaesthete and described aspects of synaesthesia in several of his works.
		Nabokov's best-known short story, "The Vane Sisters", is famous in part for its acrostical final paragraph, in which the first letters of each word spell out a ghostly message from beyond the grave.

		Since Nabokov's death in 1977, the responsibility for managing his posthumous reputation has fallen to his son Dmitri, who is fiercely protective of his father's public image: One member of the Nabokov family interviewed for this article later asked to retract her statements, for fear of incurring Dmitri's wrath.
		Dmitri himself declined to be interviewed -- "out of respect for his uncle," according to his literary agent -- but in 1997 he did take part in a revealing exchange on the Internet.
		Nabokov was the archenemy of cliché, a writer passionately committed to overturning tired literary conventions through careful observation of the real world, but his homosexual characters are as a rule egregiously stereotyped.

		Dmitri Nabokov's library consisted of a wide array of his father's novels, short stories, poems and translations, as well as a small set of critical studies.
		Nabokov was deeply in love with his wife, who died in 1991, and was a tender and attentive father.
		Dmitri said he harbored the hope of buying the museum, his family's former home, which is estimated to be worth about $18 million without its contents.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Nabokov, Vladimir
		Nabokov, who always claimed “I think in images”, prided himself on his mastery of prose style in two of the world\'s foremost literary languages and his oeuvre remains, as one consequence, the happiest of hunting grounds for narrative theorists, exponents of intertextuality, and sleuths of the hidden pattern.
		Nabokov was not, though, totally oblivious to the impression he might have created; he refers to his youthful pose, en route for the Crimea and emigration, as that of “a brittle young fop”, while his portrait of the arrogant Van Veen in Ada plays on similar sensibilities.
		Nabokov always stressed his “English” upbringing, which he dated virtually from the cradle: “I was bilingual as a baby”; “I was an English child”; “I was a perfectly normal trilingual child in a family with a large library”.

	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Shrayer, The World of Nabokov's Stories
		Nabokov occupies a problematic position in the realism-modernism line of development in the history of Russian and European letters during the first third of the twentieth century.
		Nabokov links his experience as a writer concerned with immortalizing memory via language to that of a reader to whom the recorded memory of his story is ultimately addressed.
		Nabokov's understanding of the role the reader plays during the act of reading was indeed deterministic, as becomes apparent from his unpublished notes, entitled "Lectures on Style and Short Stories." Presumably, he prepared these notes for a course on creative writing, a version of which he taught at Stanford University in the summer of 1941.

	CNN.com - Nabokov had passion for language -- and butterflies - August 23, 2000
		Dmitri, born in Berlin in 1934, recalled that his father took him on walks in parks there and in the mountains of France, where he taught his son about butterflies and an appreciation for nature.
		Dmitri has translated not only this latest work about Nabokov and his butterflies but also those of his father's novels, poems and plays that were written in Russian.
		Nabokov, who closely tracked color patterns of butterfly wings, must have been aware of the tenet that coloration served as protection so butterflies could evade prey, but he questioned whether the colors did not also serve a higher purpose.

	Books \| The wings of desire
		In fact, the ferocity of Nabokov's obsession with butterflies has only just been made clear to general readers with the publication of Nabokov's Butterflies, a fascinating volume of unpublished and uncorrected writings on the subject, edited by the Russian author's tireless biographer and critic Brian Boyd, with Robert Michael Pyle, an expert in butterflies.
		Nabokov's important writings on butterflies are reproduced in this volume, but in blessedly reduced form, since nobody except a professional lepidopterist would care to troll such material.
		Somewhat self-critically, Nabokov wrote that "we" - meaning the people of the early 40s - "lived in the era of Identification and Tabulation; saw the personalities of men and things in terms of names and nicknames and did not believe in the existence of anything that was nameless".

	Lo's Diary - Pia Pera
		Nabokov fils, Dmitri, managed to create a cause célèbre by claiming that Daddy's copyright was being infringed upon and threatening (and taking) legal action to prevent publication.

		Nabokov seldom signed his presentation copies; most of the signed copies were for his wife and his son Dmitri.
		Most of the translations were corrected in new revised editions by Vladimir Nabokov himself, or by his son Dmitri, translator of many V. N.'s prose works in collaboration with the author or alone, and currently at work on an anthology of previously untranslated V. N.'s poems.
		Dmitri was probably the only translator with whom he was fully satisfied, as he emphasized in a number of the dedications.

	The Life and Works of Vladimir Nabokov
		Nabokov, however, was the final reviewer of his translations, whether he fine-tuned the language or performed a larger overhaul of the original text.
		Dmitri had undertaken the task in good faith, but after several months of continual disruptions by his career (he was an opera singer), it was still unfinished.
		Nabokov developed Kamera obskura (Laughter in the Dark) from the sketch of his earlier, unpublished story "Bird of Paradise." Despite the dwindling numbers of Russians in Berlin--by the summer of 1931 there were 30,000--Nabokov was able to draw full houses to two readings in the fall and winter.

		Nabokov, an artist, and a human being with an evident imagination, is ostensibly accusing somebody of being too imaginative, too absorbed in the lives of others.
		Nabokov, in a shot from the mid '20s, was having so much fun (or maybe is so confused) that he forgot to close his mouth, revealing an uneven row of top teeth; this is how I came up with the theory.
		Nabokov mentions that it was first published in 1939 in Sovremennyya Zapiski in Paris, but Dmitri seems to have evidence that it was written in 1931.

		She is one of the most controversial figures in modern literature, seen either as a sub-teenage temptress who ruined a literary professor, or the innocent victim of an aged pervert's lust.
		Nabokov's Lolita was initially printed in Paris, because American publishers were affronted by its graphic depiction of the lust felt by the middle-aged hero, Humbert Humbert, for Dolores Haze, 12.
		Dmitri Nabokov, the son of Vladimir, said in an email to a distinguished Nabokov critic, Dieter Zimmer, that the allegation was "either a journalistic tempest in a teacup or a deliberate mystification".

		Nabokov never said Russian and English verse were "basically the same." What he did was try to explain Russian prosody to Wilson—who was knowledgeable on many matters but whose Russian was very weak—by using English examples for illustration only.
		Nabokov's Russian was and is acclaimed for its precision and originality; now even the Soviets, according to a recent press release, cannot resist the temptation of "returning him" to their readers.
		And Véra Nabokov is fortunately still with us to deny emphatically that she could ever have seriously said, as Wilson affirms, that Father often erred in his native tongue.
