A Nabokovian mystery about the ultimate literary scandal, in which the son of a world-famous author is faced with the Hamlet-like dilemma of whether or not to publish his father’s final, unfinished work, which he had promised to destroy upon the author’s death, evoking the Nabokov of Lolita and the Philip Roth of the Zuckerman novels.

I Swore I’d Burn This Book is a brilliantly irreverent, propulsive account of a literary heir whose late, world-famous novelist father, reminiscent of Vladimir Nabokov, has left behind an unfinished book. Loosely inspired by the dilemma faced by Vladimir Nabokov’s son around whether or not to publish his father’s final, unfinished book, this twisty novel spans from New York to Russia to the Swiss Alps. When his father’s reputation is threatened, the writer’s son is faced with a terrible decision. I Swore I’d Burn This Book succeeds as a wild comedic caper with much to say about fathers and sons, our current times, and the mysteries of artistic creation.
