Dear List,

Once again, we will celebrate the anniversary of VN's birth on April 23, 115 years ago this year, with greetings, toasts, jokes, parodies, homages, and Nabokoviana.

This year, in particular, please consider contributing a quotation from a moment of happy celebration--or just plain happiness, involving tartine au miel or otherwise--in any of VN's texts.  Or, if you are so inclined, please share an anecdote about the joy that reading VN has added to your life.

Please send your offerings to N-L with "BIRTHDAY" in the subject heading, and I'll save them up and send them out on April 23.  Many happy returns!

:) SES
