Hello all,

Sandy Drescher said that I could share his wonderful contribution with
the List. I hope others will come up with their own ideas for an
imaginary edition of RLSK!

Imagine creating a limited-edition artist’s book of The Real Life of
Sebastian Knight. Your proposed book should incorporate the text of
Nabokov’s novel and convey its meaning through the book’s own visual,
spatial, or conceptual form. What would such a book look like? How
would one read it? This is only a proposal, so you’re not limited by
your resources or technical skills. Just describe your book in a brief
paragraph.
