A memorandum

Very few people follow this, thus I can write whatever the fuck I want.

My favorite dead man had a son, his son was rumored in 2008 to begin publishing his father's "new" book:

"Sounds like the late Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov just pulled off a literary feat. Thirty-one years after his death, and from the grave, he's giving the world a story. And it's playing out through his son, Dmitri Nabokov, and how he has resolved his moral dilemma over whether to destroy or to publish the incomplete manuscript of his father's last novel, “The Original of Laura.”

Vladimir's dying wish was for his son to destroy the work, written in pencil on about 50 index cards."

Well here we are in 2009: Nabokov's son finally strikes



so yes. what a man.
