Elena Rakhimova-Sommers (Editor). Nabokov’s Women: The Silent Sisterhood of Textual Nomads. Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books, 2017.
« Nabokov’s Women: The Silent Sisterhood of Textual Nomads is the first book-length study to focus on Nabokov’s relationship with his heroines. Essays by distinguished Nabokov scholars explore the multilayered and nomadic nature of Nabokov’s women: their voice and voicelessness, their absentness, the paradigm of power and sacrifice within which they are situated, the paradox of […]
Brian Boyd and Marijeta Bozovic (eds), Nabokov Upside Down, Northwestern University Press, 2017.
http://www.nupress.northwestern.edu/content/nabokov-upside-down-1 « Nabokov Upside Down brings together essays that explicitly diverge from conventional topics and points of reference when interpreting a writer whose influence on contemporary literature is unrivaled. Scholars from around the world here read Nabokov in terms of bodies rather than minds, belly-laughs rather than erudite wit, servants rather than master-artists, or Asian rather than […]
Julie Loison-Charles, Vladimir Nabokov ou l’écriture du multilinguisme : mots étrangers et jeux de mots, Paris, Presses Universitaires de Paris-Ouest, 2016.
http://www.lcdpu.fr/livre/?GCOI=27000100784340 « La mondialisation, les mouvements de population et l’accélération des échanges internationaux signifient que nous sommes tous potentiellement étrangers, avec toutes les connotations que ce terme peut porter en lui. Cela implique aussi que le bilinguisme et le recours aux mots étrangers touchent un nombre incommensurable de personnes, qu’il s’agisse des couples de nationalités différentes […]

Ann Hulbert, « A Portrait of “Literary Malice” », The Atlantic, December 2016. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/12/cover-to-cover/505847/ In his most recent book, Alex Beam details the disintegration of Vladimir Nabokov and Edmund Wilson’s friendship. « The dazzling correspondence between Vladimir Nabokov and Edmund Wilson, two giants of 20th-century letters who met in 1940 and kept in close touch through the 1950s, […]

« The book contains 148 of Nabokov’s scientific drawings with detailed explanatory captions by (mostly) Kurt, and six reproductions of VN’s inscription drawings to Véra, along with essays by several scientists and Nabokov specialists who have written about or built upon Nabokov’s lepidoptery.

Michael Rodgers, Susan Elizabeth Sweeney (Eds.), Nabokov and the Question of Morality. Aesthetics, Metaphysics, and the Ethics of Fiction, Palgrave Macmillan US, 2016.
« A volume that Susan Elizabeth Sweeney co-edited with Michael Rodgers, Nabokov and the Question of Morality: Aesthetics, Metaphysics, and the Ethics of Fiction, has just come out from Palgrave Macmillan. It addresses the vexing issue of Nabokov’s moral stances, arguing that he designed his works as open-ended ethical problems–concerning good or bad reading, God’s existence, […]
Alexia Gassin, L’œuvre de Vladimir Nabokov au regard de la culture et de l’art allemands. Survivances de l’ expressionnisme, Bruxelles, Bern, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, New York, Oxford, Wien, Peter Lang, collection « Comparatisme et Société / Comparatism and Society », vol. 32, 2016.
« Jusqu’à présent, les études nabokoviennes ont tendance à ignorer l’influence de la culture allemande sur l’œuvre de Vladimir Nabokov. Ce faisant, elles se conforment aux propos de l’écrivain qui a fréquemment déclaré que, malgré ses quinze années passées en Allemagne (1922–1937), il a toujours évité tout contact avec la langue et l’univers allemands. Pourtant, bien […]
Robert Roper, Nabokov in America. On the Road to Lolita, Walker and Company, 2015.
« The author of the immortal Lolita and Pale Fire, born to an eminent Russian family, conjures the apotheosis of the high modernist artist: cultured, refined-as European as they come. But Vladimir Nabokov, who came to America fleeing the Nazis, came to think of his time here as the richest of his life. Indeed, Nabokov was not only happiest […]
