Interview w/ _Lolita_ film writer (fwd)

Nabokovians,

Stephen Schiff, staff writer at the New Yorker and screenwriter for
the upcoming remake of the film _Lolita_ has agreed to be interviewed by me
for publication at/on/in (I'm not sure which is appropriate)
Zembla, the Nabokov web site. We have agreed on an electronic
interview to be conducted over the period of a month (roughly) which
will begin in earnest after the new year. My intention at this point
in the communication was to launch into a profile of Schiff but I
have been unable to uncover much of substance about the guy. He
writes for the New Yorker on film, literature and popular culture but
I have not yet determined whether he has written any screenplays
prior to the _Lolita_ endeavor. These details I will be investigating
in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, should anyone on the
list have a question of particular interest for Mr. Schiff, please
direct it to me personally or post it to the list.

Thanks in advance,
