Review:
"[A]lthough THE ORIGINAL OF LAURA has, at long last, been properly published...there's not enough of it to be properly reviewed, as Nabokov himself would surely understand....[I]t's simply fragments of a novel....The style of Nabokov's very last work hardly seems 'unprecedented' either, but especially for an aging, ailing man, he was in fine form. This, rather than imputed formal innovations or supposed insights into his writing process...makes THE ORIGINAL OF LAURA worth the frustration of reading it."
David Gates, New York Times Book Review, 11/15/2009

The Original of Laura: Dying Is Fun (Hardback) (ISBN: 9780307271891) Nabokov, Vladimir Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Knopf Publishing Group, United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 240 x 167 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. When Vladimir Nabokov died in 1977, he left instructions for his heirs to burn the 138 handwritten index cards that made up the rough draft of his final and unfinished novel, "The Original of Laura." But Nabokov's wife, Vera, could not bear to destroy her husband's last work, and when she died, the fate of the manuscript fell to her son. Dmitri Nabokov, now seventy-five--the Russian novelist's only surviving heir, and translator of many of his books--has wrestled for three decades with the decision of whether to honor his father's wish or preserve for posterity the last piece of writing of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. His decision finally to allow publication of the fragmented narrative--dark yet playful, preoccupied with mortality--affords us one last experience of Nabokov's magnificent creativity, the quintessence of his unparalleled body of work. "Photos of the handwritten index cards accompany the text. They are perforated and can be removed and rearranged, as the author likely did when he was writing the novel. ".
