Subject
Nabokov Appreciations (fwd)
Date
Body
From: Juan Martinez (jmm80625@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu)
I have set up a place in my _Waxwing_ site for mini-essays on sundry
Nabokoviana. Contributions are encouraged and needed. A fuller
explanation of the nature (informal or formal, anything in-between),
content (in a nutshell: anything Nabokov-related) and scope (up to the
writer and his or her muse) of the section follows below. I'm not looking
for scholarly treatises (which probably deserve better homes), but will be
more than glad to take them.
WAXWING can be found at
http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~jmm80625/nabokov.html
Below follows the pitch:
"How did you come across Nabokov? Is there anything about reading his
work, or about his work proper, or about his life, that you want to share
with other readers? If so, I'll be more than glad to place it here.
There's no money in it, but you can make your opinions known to fellow
Nabokov enthusiasts.
"If you're interested, please e-mail me with the text either attached (as
text-only) or as the body of the e-mail. Please keep your material short
(no more than 2,000 words), and watch out for typos and so on (I won't
copy-edit the work other than spot and correct obvious
mispellings)---scholarly material probably deserves a better showcase than
this site, but if you send it I'll put it in. Send in anything that is
Nabokov-related (with, of course, full credit going to you, along with a
copyright symbol and the following disclaimer, "[TITLE OF ESSAY] is the
property of [YOUR NAME]. Please do not copy or distribute in any form
without proper authorization from the writer.") and it will find a place
here. The subject line in the e-mail should read, "vivian darkbloom". I
will reply within the day or so to your e-mail.
"Mostly, I hope to make _vivian_ a place where people can feel free to
express what moved them about the writer and his writings. It can take the
form of a personal memoir, if you want---or it can take any form
whatsoever.
"Cheers,
"The Editor
