EDNOTE. A great idea. For Germany, Dieter E. Zimmer has places and addresses on
ZEMBLA and his own webpage as well as a couple of photobooks. For the rest, I'd
read vol. I of Boyd's bio and plot a list. Perhaps listers have special places
they could send in.

Some friends and I have it in mind in the spring to do a grand literary
tour by car, taking in the most prominent Nabspots in Europe (excluding
Russia) - together with certain wine-producing regions in France
(Sancerre being as close to our hearts as any Nabnovel). We would start
in London (or should it be Cambridge?) and aim to finish in Montreux,
but diversions along the way (e.g. Berlin, Pomeranian beaches) would be
both permitted and indeed compulsory.
I wonder if the list could contribute suggestions to those obligatory
Nabsites that must be visited before one can rightfully call oneself a
Nabokovian? Maybe we could even pioneer a kind of 'official' European
Nabtrail that, once established, all true Nabokovians must undertake at
least once in a lifetime?
