Reader survey: Should Nabokov’s last book have been published?
August 15th, 2008 by Justin Richards in Books
According to the Spanish newspaper ABC, Vladimir Nabokov’s unfinished novel, The Original of Laura, will be published September of next year. Nabokov had asked that the book be burned after his death. The decision was left in the hands of his son Dmitri.
Slate’s Ron Rosenbaum, who once called for the book to be published, now regrets his decision. He refers to “a few troubling paragraphs” in the manuscript he read. Hmm.
Personally, I don’t think it should have been published. But haven’t made up my mind on whether I’ll read it. Rosebaum suggested a good compromise: stow the manuscript in a restricted archive rather than publish it as a novel.
