Changing My Mind

The Original of Laura
By: VLADIMIR NABOKOV, DMITRI NABOKOV
This novel has been the source of much anxiety and contention for Nabokov's fans and family. The late Vladimir Nabokov requested that this unfinished work be destroyed, but his son, Dmitri, did not oblige, although neither did he allow the work to be published - until now. "The Original of Laura" is about a wonderfully large man called Philip Wild, married to a very promiscuous woman, and whose meditations concern the nature of death.
