Dear all,
Nobody seems to have noticed that Siri Bendtsen, the name of the girl who asked the List about the reason of VN's dislike of Dostoevsky, is a Nabokovian anagram. I wouldn't have noticed it myself, if the inventor of this quite plausible Scandinavian name (to whom I had written by chance) didn't invite me to look closer at Siri. The anagram's solving was then the matter of a second.
Happy New Year to everybody! (I notice that New Year is an anagram of "near yew"; I suggest that yew should become the Nabokovians' Christmas tree :)
