From the Editor

Originally (and perhaps hastily) conceived as a thoughtful look at the development of Nabokov studies during this journal's first ten volumes, the current volume has had a traumatic birth, a childhood cursed with many unexpected growing pains and changes of focus, and an adolescence that seemed to be at least twice as long as most. I hereby push it out of the nest, more than ever convinced that it does indeed take a village to raise a child. I am grateful to those villagers who recognized and patiently honored their obligations.
