let me read it, then burn it


The debate about whether Nabokov's weirdo opera-singing, race-car driving son should burn Nabokov's unfinished final novel "The Original of Laura" continues here. I'm of the fascistic opinion that anyone who can correctly pronounce Nabokov's name should get to read it (so no Sting fans), then we should throw it in the Volga.
