I have asked the List this question before, but nobody answered. In Kubrick's
film "Lolita" (but not in VN's published screenplay) the hotel is called The
Hunted Enchanters. Can anyone see the point of this jokey but (as far as I can
see) utterly unfunny inversion, and does anyone know whose idea it was?
