The Original of Laura (dying is fun): a novel in fragments

The incomplete novel by Nabokov, which he was writing at the time of his death in 1977. A series of 138 handwritten index cards that made up the rough draft of the book. Published by his son Dimitri, despite the author’s request the work be destroyed upon his death. Photos of the index cards accompany the text, all perforated and can be removed (!) and rearranged – as it is expected the author would have done when writing the novel. HCDJ
