EDITOR's NOTE. The St. Petersburg Nabokov Museum is offering its
summer course NABOKOV 101 for the third year. Below you are advised
of the informative web page that has just been established for the
program. This year, two of the world's leading Nabokov scholars will
preside -- Brian Boyd and Alexander Dolinin. It is a splendid opportunity
to study VN with two brilliant and accessible scholars in the family home.
I plan to attend myself.
---------------------------------------------
In order to answer numerous questions of Nabokov 101 participants,
both former and prospective, organizers of the International Summer School
for Students of Nabokov have prepared and launched a website (URL:
www.nabokov101.ru). Please check it to find out about the current program,
which will be held at the St. Petersburg Nabokov Museum on July 22-30,
right after the Vladimir Nabokov Symposium. The website, full of photos,
also contains information about previous Nabokov 101 programs, the Nabokov
Museum, accommodations available to Nabokov scholars in St. Petersburg,
the intricacies of obtaining a Russian visa, and Nabokov-themed tours of
St. Petersburg's sites. Those who are interested in participating in the
Nabokov 101 program this summer will find information about the school's
faculty (Prof. Brian Boyd and Prof. Alexander Dolinin), the courses they
will offer (on Ada and
Dar respectively), and the reading
lists. Questions and comments about the program as well as about the site
itself can be sent to Tatiana Ponomareva at azint@mail.wplus.net or Olga
Voronina at olvor@rol.ru.
