EDNOTE. The very active Japanese Nabokov Society celebrates Nabokov's birthday
with the unveling of a new web site devoted to commentary on ADA. The Kyoto
Reading Circle has previously been publishing its notes in the Society
publication KRUG. With the current issue, the group reading has now gotten past
the chapter annotations so far published on ZEMBLA and in THE NABOKOVIAN and is
pushing into new territory. NABOKV-L congratulates the JNS on its new site and
looks forward to its contributions to ADAology.
