They're added by Brust the
translator<http://www.cracksandshards.com/cracks.html#Brusts>,
possibly in line with the equivalent of marginal notes by Vlad: "By the way,
the mannerist murder comedy I was thinking of was Miersen's 'Six Parts
Water'" -- which Brust the T then finds a copy of. Ditto for Oscaani.

I really oughtta rent "The Thin Man" and the other Nick and Nora Charles
movies.
