I haven't seen Professor Shrayer's book yet, but would just point out
that Brian Boyd calls the town Fialta "a blend of the Adriatic's Fiume
and the Black Sea's Yalta" (VN: The Russian Years, 426), which would
imply, in answer to Robert Buchanan's question, that it does not
represent any particular town, but a generalized seaside resort town.
