As to my first time, please follow link, where, coincidentally, Carolyn
offered more details in December 2003, as did our erstwhile editor Don
Barton Johnson:

Subject: [NABOKV-L] BIRTHDAY: How I first discovered VN



Sounds lovely (the balloons especially). I first discovered Pnin when I was
13 years old - and so it goes!

[EDNOTE. How about everyone else? What was your first encounter with VN?
For me, it was discovering a copy of Lolita in 1970, at age twelve, on
another family's bookshelves while babysitting their children. And that was
that. -- SES]

Subject: [NABOKV-L] ANNC: Invitation to a Birthday

Dear List,

As in years past, we will celebrate VN's birthday on April 23, one week from
today, with a whirlwind of bon mots, toasts, roasts, boasts, "mosts," and
jokes.

We especially welcome favorite passages, visual tributes, parodies,
sightings, trivia contests, personal anecdotes of the "how I discovered VN"
variety, party games, and little-known Nabokoviana. In general, how would
you like to celebrate the fact that a writer named Vladimir Nabokov once
lived and now lives on in that reflected sky?

Please send your contributions at any time during the next week with
"BIRTHDAY" in the subject heading. I'll save them until the actual day and
then release them one balloon at a time.

Yours,

Susan Elizabeth Sweeney

Co-Editor, NABOKV-L
