Abstract: To mark the occasion of the first major book-length study on Nabokov by an Australian since Andrew Field's 'VN: The Life and Art of Vladimir Nabokov' (New York: Crown, 1986), I've written a longish review essay about Sigi Jöttkandt's 'The Nabokov Effect: Reading in the Endgame' (London: Open Humanities Press, 2024) for Affirmations: of the modern, the flagship journal of the Australasian Modernist Studies Network. The essay explores Jöttkandt's vibrant and imaginative approach to reading Nabokov, and contextualizes her book against the wider history of the field.
