Real, real, reel revolution. 

words mutate into multilingual puns. but there are lots of other
Nabokovians here, in fact, VL is about putting the metaphor in
metamorphosis. 

Who es the desperado, amigo? 

Zoyd or Hector? 

Characters undergo various kinds of metamorphosis. 

While all the freaks in Vineland look exactly alike, all there beach
pads look the same, 
the world keeps on changing. Is Hector right? Does Zoyd lack
imagination? A fatal flaw?
