When examining the bookshelf, a few books are visible that might be related to the themes in the film. Seen is an unidentified work by Vladimir Nabakov, who suffered from insomnia, had a fascination with colors, and penned a number of works with the most commonly known being Lolita. Lord of the Flies, which deals with civilization and savagery. Paradise Lost is a bit on the nose with themes of order, predestination, and free will. And Bait and Switch which deals with the struggles of the American dream.
