Fw: [NABOKV-L] Dr Froit of Signy-Mondieu-Mondieu

Alexey Sklyarenko: On Antiterra (the planet on which Ada is set), Sigmund Freud is represented by the Dr Froit of Signy-Mondieu-Mondieu in the Ardennes and his emigre brother (who may be the same man) with a passport-changed name, a Dr Froid (1.3). JM: in Freud's report, we encounter an anedocte related to a Baroness who was in labor... "Ah, mon Dieu, que je souffre!" ..."Mein Gott, mein Gott, was fur Schmerzen!," ..."Ai, waih, waih" ( Cf. Freud, S., "Der Witz und seine Beziehung zum Unbewussten", in Gesammelte Werke, Frankfurt am Main, S. Ficher, 1969, v. VI, p. 86);
JM: The reference to the recondidte Freud anedocte still looks preposterous to me. However there's a line (during Van's encounter with Rack) in which the poor dribling musician addresses Van Veen as "Baron von Wien." (when we get to a link bt, "Ada's" Irish Barons and the execrated Viennese doctor) : " 'Have they all gone to Hollywood already? Please, tell me, Baron von Wien'. "
