Dear Joshua Roberts and List,

You are absolutely right, there are quite a few references to Nabokov in the latest David Cronenberg movie, and they are not accidental. The initial versions of Stephen Knight's script sported so many of them that one subscriber to the present forum who happened to be involved in the project felt compelled to point out the danger of overdoing it.

With every good wish,

Stanislav Shvabrin.
