Publication by Alfred A. Knopf of THE COLLECTED STORIES OF
VLADIMIR NABOKOV at last makes accessible in one volume the short fiction
written by the Master in Russian, French, and English. And, lest his
work languish in the shade of the laurel trees, Kinbotes must be summoned
to light their frail pyres.
With the encouragement of the University of Delaware Press,
Irving Malin (96-13 68th Avenue, Forest Hills, New York 11375) and I are
assembling a volume of essays on Nabokov's short fiction. Relatively
neglected until now, it is finally amenable to systematic study. We
invite you to write about one of the stories in THE COLLECTED STORIES OF
VLADIMIR NABOKOV--or, if you prefer, about themes or techniques that link
two or more of them. We hope to compile a collection of lively,
insightful pieces that will cover most of Nabokov's short stories.
If you are interested in participating in this project, please
respond soon to me or to Irving Malin with the title of the story you
prefer to write about, and please be prepared to meet a February 1 deadline.
Thank you for your attention.
