Zembla online

Whether you're an avid Nabokovist or have just been wondering what that "Lolita" thing is all about, a visit to Zembla will be a delightful way to acquaint (or reacquaint) yourself with the mind and literature of the genius puppetmaster. Decked in the colors of the Karner blue butterfly that Nabokov himself discovered, this site provides updates on scholarly news and events, and extensive information on the man himself (as you would expect). Click on "about nabokov" and you will be rewarded with (among other things) a biography and a nabokronology, and an incredibly detailed list of Nabokov's many, many places of residence. The "for nabokovians" section is packed with academically-related resources, while "for nabokophiles" contains writings on butterflies, Lolita links, and more. Overall, an elegant and complete tribute to one of the century's greatest literary talents.
