The Goalkeeperis a new scholarly almanac devoted to the art of Vladimir
Nabokov. Himself an ardent goalkeeper, the author of Lolita viewed
soccer as more than a game: "I was less the keeper of a soccer goal than
the keeper of a secret" (Speak, Memory). The inaugural collection
features contributions from two dozen leading Nabokov scholars
worldwide, including academic articles (Neil Cornwell, Gerard de Vries,
Samuel Schuman, and others); roundtable discussions (Brian Boyd, Jeff
Edmunds, Priscilla Meyer, David Rampton, Leona Toker); interviews
(Dmitri Nabokov, Alvin Toffler); archival materials; the Kyoto Nabokov
conference report; and book reviews (Pekka Tammi, Zoran Kuzmanovich,
Galya Diment). The Nabokov Almanac, edited by Yuri Leving, is affiliated
with the Nabokov Online Journal, published since 2007.
