Playboy will publish the first excerpt of Nabokov's almost lost novel, The Original of Laura. Nabokov had a long history with Playboy, and literary editor Amy Grace Loyd sent droves of orchids to Nabokov's agent, Andrew Wylie, in reference to Ada, or Ardor, a completely mysterious book I was lost in, and return to, in abstraction. I think I will revisit this summer. (via the Guardian)
of course- just read excerpts from a study linking Nabokov, R. Penn Warren and someone else(?) well- just to say, blog conjure.la
