This is an incomplete collection of short stories written by Vladimir Nabokov, a Russian-American author and expert lepidopterist. Nabokov writes about an unadulterated picture of humanity, depicted by the photography and treatment of the pictures. The large margins allow for assets to stand alone and feel incomplete, the typefaces further reinforce a separation and desire helping to shed light on the longing for completeness we all have. Nabokov’s happiness was tied to finding the ‘right’ butterfly, and once captured he gained a sense of ecstasy from the oneness he found in nature. This collection of short stories revolves around the search for oneness and communion and the ecstasy that would ensue if oneness is found.
