Of interest ... maybe to ...some.

The last thing I want to do is sit in a book store and listen to
someone talk about a living author. Let them speak or not for
themselves.



When Vladimir Nabokov died in 1977, he left instructions that the 138
handwritten index cards that composed the rough draft of his
novel-in-progress, The Original of Laura, were to be burned. Now, more
than 30 years later, Nabokov’s son Dmitri—the only surviving heir and
a translator of many of his father's books—has decided to publish
Laura. Join Martin Amis, Nabokov biographer Brian Boyd, Laura's
designer Chip Kidd and others as they discuss the master's life and
work, with a reading from Laura to follow.

Just a few days before Lincoln Center presents the U.S. premiere of
director Katie Mitchell’s One Evening, a performance that features
both Beckett’s prose and Schubert’s song-cycle Winterreise, the Poetry
Center hosts a reading of Beckett’s work and a discussion about One
Evening. The New York Times’s Ben Brantley called her recent
adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s The Waves “a remarkable, genre-defying
work…that raises the bar for literary adaptations.”
