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.
