Dmitri Nabokov, 1934-2012

Photo from this obituary.

Dmitri Nabokov, Vladimir Nabokov's son, passed away today. He was a remarkable man -- funny, tough, ferociously intelligent, a race-car driver and an opera singer and a great steward of his father's work -- and will be very much missed. Below follow some of the more notable reminiscences posted on the Nabokv-L Listserv and elsewhere:

• I Will Sing When You're All Dead
• Terry Myers on watching Dmitri with Dmitri
• Panayoti Kelaidis on not meeting Dmitri
• See also the threads under the subject line "Dmitri," "Dmitri Nabokov," "DVN 1934-2012," and "Farewell Dmitri" in the 2012 February archives of the Nabokv-L Listserv.
• The New York Times obituary for Dmitri Nabokov.
