	Dostoevsky Studies :: DOSTOEVSKY AND NABOKOV: THE MORALITY OF STRUCTURE IN "CRIME AND PUNISHMENT" AND "DESPAIR"
		"Despair" is, in the last analysis, a novel by Nabokov in which the main character behaves with loathsome caddishness as he tries to usurp for himself the authority of the author, and to behave in such a way in the temple of Nabokov's art is an unforgivable sin.
		Nabokov is a merciless judge of the universe his hero has created and watchful guardian over his own poetic cosmos.
		Nabokov's second clue to his hero takes the form of a "very singular and very nasty dream" which Hermann is doomed to dream over and over again.

	Vladimir_Nabokov
		Nabokov's Lolita (1955) is frequently cited as one of the most important novels of the 20th century.
		Nabokov's 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.
		Nabokov lived in the same section of Berlin, Germany as the author, Heinz von Lichberg, and was most likely familiar with the author's work, which was widely available at that time in Germany.

	Nigel Krauth,TEXT Vol 6 No 1, April 2002
		Nabokov plays mercilessly with notions of educated readership and critique here, but behind it all lurks the generic author's fear of antipathetic readings by those with power - power to assess and cursorily dismiss the work; those with power to negate the value and intentions of the work.
		Nabokov was here concerned to shift the focus of discussion of his novel away from closed-shop critical and academic literary territory and into the general cultural landscape.
		I should not fail to mention that Nabokov's 'novel' Pale Fire is entirely a parody of the 'scholarly exegesis' - as Page Stegner noted in his Introduction to The Portable Nabokov (Nabokov 1971: xxii).

	Review: ‘James Joyce: the undiscover’d Country’ by Bernard Benstock (Dublin, Gill and MacMillan; New York, Barnes ...
		It is arguable indeed, as George Hyde suggests towards the end of this excellent new study, that Nabokov repaid the dubious honour the academics had done him by writing in his last books in a manner more calculated to please them than to express his own idiosyncratic genius.
		What it does mean, though, as all true Nabokov admirers will applaud, is that certain crucial statements (crucial in that Nabokov would be the lesser artist if they were not true) are for the first time clearly made.
		that Nabokov is administering self-criticism and exerting self-control in the pervasive Augustanism of Pale Fire; 12.

		Nabokov's genius lies in keeping all four of these options alive.
		The gaps and ludicrous rationalizations in Kinbote's account are enough to radically question his credibility (there are some wonderful scenes in which it is clear to the readers, if not to Kinbote himself, that Shade is exasperated by him to the point of white-hot rage).
		I’ve only dipped my toe into this area, (Geoff Ryman's 253 is one of the most celebrated examples of a hyperlink fiction, and one of the most successful I’ve encountered).The chief ‘problem’ with hyperlink fiction is the delivery system.

		Parody is one of the instruments that Nabokov uses to invite the participation of "time and space" in the emotions of mortal love.
		This is the threat that Nabokov sees in the "Viennese delegation": perfect mental health implies the silence of memory and imagination and thus the death of art.
		Nabokov’s recent novel, Ada, opens with a parody of the traditional beginning of the novel: "All happy families are more or less dissimilar; all unhappy ones are more or less alike.

		For the first time access to this material was possible; it was very novel, very exciting, and even I would say revolutionary, to be able to search an electronic index and retrieve not only a citation to an article but the full text of the article as well.
		But my real and continued objective over the last ten years is the same as that originally stated--to study the mechanics of fame and reputation, the play between what the author has left behind, and its reception by the "general public" (if only defined as readers of the popular press).
		It's a great idea: he wants a PORTABLE magazine, a magazine that can be moved from one room to another, a magazine full of words to look at and pictures to read.

	The Association of Writers & Writing Programs -- Serving Writers Since 1967
		Nabokov's Bend Sinister is quite often, for me, one of the first novels to come to mind.
		Nabokov's brilliant physical description of Adam Krug in the same chapter is a guide to exactly what is required of the fiction writer in order to bring characters to life, a kind of metaphor for the depth of awareness the writer must have in order to make his characters live:
		Without the particulars of Nabokov's language and wit and intelligence, the bare outline of the novel's plot seems rather bare indeed, certainly familiar enough, something like a number of other works that have dealt with the behind-the-Iron-Curtain/through-the-looking-glass madness from Solzhenitsyn to Kundera to Koestler and on across any number of political thrillers and propaganda tracts.

	Translating Cervantes: Una vez más, by Burton Raffel
		But Nabokov wrote not as a critic, with the responsibilities and also with the relative humility of the scholar, but as a practicing novelist of unlimited ambition and boundless arrogance.
		Nabokov's motivations are indeed of no relevance, here, but since translations may well have been the source for his error, and for similarly flagrant misjudgments by others, both living and dead, the inadequacies of those translations are extraordinarily relevant.
		This alone probably would not have swayed Vladimir Nabokov; he was in general not a man who liked to change his opinions for any reason, bad or good.

		Generally you are given some kind of internal memory, but if you’re going cheap and accommodating your budget and buying the MP3 player at the same time, then it would be perhaps inevitable that you will end up with less memory that you would require in the future.

		This Collector's Edition evokes the life and milieu of Brontë through beautifully rendered lithographs by the English printmaker Ethel Gabain, along with a famous letter from Brontë to her publisher, in which she responds to unfounded rumors about her relationship with William Makepeace Thackeray.
		Photographs of Brontë's portable escritoire and a slip of flocked wallpaper from her husband's study further offer the reader an intimate look into Brontë's world.
		Each book is crafted with special features to contribute to its appeal as a reading edition and to its value as a collector's item, including a contemporary design, fully reset and easy-to-read type, and for some books, a carefully selected translation to assure readability and authenticity.

		Amazon.com’s synopsis: Readers meet one of Nabokov's funniest and most heartrending characters: Timofey Pnin, a professor of Russian at an American college, who lectures in a language he cannot master.
		I found the following non-useful review: The portable Nabokov, The Viking Press, 1968, ISBN 670-01073-1 Short stories and criticism are cerebral (good).
		Or, more positively, but equally useless: This short novel is probably the most accessible of Nabokov's books, incorporating some of his experiences in an American college.

	Index Cards - 43FoldersWiki
		Vladimir Nabokov wrote most of his novels, including Lolita and Pale Fire, on index cards.
		Index cards were like his laptop and text editor: portable, in that he could write in the car while his wife drove him across the Western US on butterfly expeditions, and easily editable, because their order could be reshuffled (and he used a pencil).
		Compare Nabokov's streamlined writing system with that of Marcel Proust, who would have early drafts of his books printed, and who would then paste into it new pages and extensions to existing pages, and just generally foul it up.

		Weighing in at about half the size of the average Vollmann book, their Reader is a useful and often surprising introductory sampling for anyone looking to grasp hold of Vollmann's heady, hard-to-pigeonhole achievement.
