dear nicholas,

i keep a list of vn references in fiction in my web site. it's called
nabokovilia, and can be found at

http://www.fulmerford.com/waxwing/nabobilia/nabobilia.html

could i put in the _autograph_ bits in? they'll be duly credited to you. let
me know. there's already a zadie page, with excerpts from _white noise_ and
from a short story of hers. it's over at

http://www.fulmerford.com/waxwing/nabobilia/nv37.html

anyway, thanks for pointing them out. the novel looks pretty neat.

cheers,

juan
