Rea Notes on TT-7 (fwd)

Body
------------------
I had printed these out, but evidently deleted the original, so I
apologize for any typos and other booboos.
21.01 Snyder Hall: almost any university building, (say dormitory or
classroom building) is named a "hall" in America. Think of, say,
Wordsmith Hall, etc.
Crested Butte (pronounced "byoot") is a topnym in Colorado
20:12-13 This is one of those "springboard" notes that may lead me
to make enthusiastic and mislet additions.
"avoiding ... things rather by ear than otherwise" VN
"A bat metaphor. A bat and a cat," Akiko Nakata
(Aside: blind people learn this art, using a specially designed cane
who's "echo" helps them locate objects)
Aiice, chapter 1 paragraph 10: There are no mice in the air I'm
afraid, but you [Dinah, Alice's cat] might catch a bat....But do
cats eat bats, I wonder? And here ... Alice went on saying Do cats
eat bats? Do cats eat bats?... Do bats eat cats?
I first note that the TT passage has no bats, only a school cat,
the bats being summoned here for one purpose and another. But
now lets go a page ahead in Alice. In the same passage at Paragraph
13, "Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table...: there
was nothing on it but a golden key."
If I were aberglaublich I might suspect Nabokov of somehow planning
this assembly of cats, bats, and three-legged tables! As the
MacDonalds commercials say, "I'm lovin' it!" Re-re-re-reading
Nabokov is a pleasure beyond any expectations! Apres avoir son
Joyce, on fait son grand Nabokov.
