Dear List,
Stanley Kubrick stated that if Lolita had been written by a lesser author, it
could have resulted in a better movie. Despite all the modern cinematic
resources, words would to be turned into actions or dialogues, verbal sceneries
would be interpreted as images....
Would I shock Nabokovians if I suggested that "Ada" could be rendered as a
sophisticated interactive game ( like those for "Play-Station II" ) with
options to view the same scene from below, from above or upsidedown, or for
changing time/space dimensions, for catching virtual butterflies or biting
marygolds, solving verbal problems, hearing music or dying several times and
interacting with ghosts in the bubbles of a hypertext?

EDCOMMENT. An interesting idea. But wouldn't be VERY long? (Of course, so is the
novel.
