THE ORGINAL OF LAURA by Vladimir Nabokov Hardcover w/ Dust Jacket First Edition ISBN: 9780307271891 Number of Pages: 288 Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc./Random House Should you destroy the final masterpiece of a literary giant, or go against his wishes and save his last manuscript for posterity? A dark yet playful novel about a portly academic and his wildly promiscuous wife, The Original of Laura has been languishing in a vault for some 30 years as Vladimir Nabokov’s heirs grappled over this very question. When he died in 1977, he wanted the rough draft of his final novel burned. But his wife could not bear to destroy her husband’s last work, and when she died, her son spent three decades searching his soul before coming to a decision. Now, finally published, the book is a literary treat—a final chance to experience Nabokov’s brilliance that’s as seductive a read as his Lolita ever was.
