<p>Open Humanities Press is pleased to announce the publication of
the first title in our new sub-series, <b>Critical Climate Chaos:
The Nethercene</b>, edited by Tom Cohen and Claire Colebrook.<br>
</p>
<div><b>Sigi Jöttkandt's <i>The Nabokov Effect: Reading in the
Endgame</i></b> attends to the ‘lettrocalamity’ that occurs
when literature and cinema collide in Vladimir Nabokov’s work.
Jöttkandt suspends the long-held critical investment in Nabokov’s
authorial control to focus on another principle of
representational agency making incursions into his books. Tracing
the subterranean network of cross-lingual puns, homophonies, and
technical overflows of writing to a cinaesthetic signature system,
Jöttkandt recasts the vexed question of Nabokov’s relation to
psychoanalysis. A pioneer of too-close reading, Nabokov offers
himself, Jöttkandt argues, as the tipping point of perceptual and
epistemological systems that are in the process of devouring
themselves. The ensuing ‘Nabokov effect’ is both an assault on
teleological models, and an opening onto other forms of reading
and listening, which Jöttkandt argues was always latent in
psychoanalysis. In this book, Nabokov emerges as <i>the</i>
writer for humanity’s endgame, architect of a post- interpretive
complex that opens up broader questions concerning our ability to
read him or, indeed any writer, today.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Like all Open Humanities Press books, <b><i>The Nabokov Effect
</i></b>is available open access (it can be downloaded for free)
and from online bookstores worldwide:</div>

<p>'Taking in the vortices and reversals of the “post” pandemic
anomie, The Nethercene sub-series responds to the exponential
accelerations of the twin spirals of climate disaggregations and
its accelerating race with A.I. to see which will outpace the
other’s extinction promise - the “singularities” of tipping points
passed dueling with a de-anthropomorphized system that refuses
face... ' </p>
