Dr. Van Veen has been summoned to England to investigate a “teasy problem,” “a singular case of chromesthesia” in one Spencer Muldoon, forty, and blind from birth:
Vladimir Nabokov, Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle (1969).
I first thought that Anadel might be an invented anagram (it’s that kind of novel), but Anadel Colored Pencils were a genuine Dixon product.
Has any writer had more to say about pencils than Nabokov? I don’t think so.
