Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A high-spec edition of Nabokov's last work, with perforated index cards mirroring the index cards on which Nabokov originally wrote the manuscript. This legendary novel has caused must anxiety for both Nabokov's family and fans: Vladimir originally asked that the work be destroyed, and although his son refused, nor did he allow it to be published - until now.

Publisher's description:

A novel about a wonderfully large man called Philip Wild, married to a very promiscuous woman, and whose meditations concern the nature of death.
