Vladimir Nabokov's son will publish
his father's last manuscript, despite the fact that his father's dying request was that it be burned.
Dimitri Nabokov says in an interview with the German edition of Vanity Fair that his father must have wanted the work published.
He is quoted as saying: "Had my father really wished that this novel not be released, he would have destroyed it himself." The interview is to be published Thursday.
Although generally we are in favor of honoring the some one's last request, in this case we have to side with Dimitri. We're selfish and want to see what Nabokov wrote: we admit it.
