One doesn’t name a book one intends to destroy

Dying is Fun
I requested a pre-order of Nabokov's last book at some bookstore a while ago, only to hear the cashier inform me that he was dead. Thanks.
The Original of Laura is going to be published in the order it was written although that might not be the order that it's meant to be. Each page is a note card with perforated edges so that you can rearrange the story. Nabokov's last puzzle.
Dmitry Nabokov held on to the manuscript for 3 decades before deciding to get it published.
