When Vladimir Nabokov died in 1977, he left instructions that the 138 handwritten index cards that composed the rough draft of his novel-in-progress, The Original of Laura, were to be burned. Now, more than 30 years later, Nabokov’s son Dmitri—the only surviving heir and a translator of many of his father's books—has decided to publish Laura. Join Martin Amis, Nabokov biographer Brian Boyd, Laura's designer Chip Kidd and others as they discuss the master's life and work, with a reading from Laura to follow.
