EDITOR'S NOTE: Synaesthesia played a role in Nabokov's creative process
and has been the subject a number of articles. Since several people on
the list are interested in the subject I take the liberty of passing on
the announcement below. My thanks to Jerry Goodenough for bringing the
information to my attention.
