Nabokov and Sterne (fwd)

EDITOR's NOTE. Yes, VN does have Sterne references and perhaps someone can
give you chapter and verse. Sterne was, BTW, very big with the Russian
Formalists of Vn's youth. You can also search the NABOKV-L Archive. The
matter has come up before.

I am reading Tristram Shandy at the moment. Nabokov said that
he admired Sterne, but are there any allusions to Sterne in Nabokov's
works?

Cheers!
