A celebration of Vladimir Nabokov
Description
When Vladimir Nabokov was about to die, he asked his family to destroy his unfinished novel, The Original of Laura, which was written on 138 index cards. Lucky for us, his son, Dmitri, did not heed his wishes, and on Tue 17 the book will finally be released. Tonight, a group of Nabokov admirers will read from the book and discuss its author. Participants include novelist Martin Amis, Nabokov biographer Brian Boyd and designer Chip Kidd, who will take us through the design process for Laura, including its cover.
