EDNote: It appears to have been a quite day during my travels, so I will go ahead and forward John Rea's delightful violation of list policy.  I can also in the meantime report that this morning co-editor Susan Elizabeth Sweeney, Nabokov Studies Editor Zoran Kuzmanovich, Miami U. of Ohio professor Marianne Cotugno with two of her students and I had a lively and thought-provoking roundtable on "Misreading Lolita" this morning at the Louisville conference on Literature and Culture Since 1900. ~SB

A mysterious comment. Would the choice of the word "speck" have any relation to one of Dmitri's favorite dishes, mentioned in Lolita ( both in the book and in the move script that remained in the Kubrick movie ?)
Bacon, I mean.

Sheer speckulation
