Vladimir Nabokov’s researched materials on index cards for Lolita. Carl Mydans. Sep 1, 1958
“I find now that index cards are really the best kind of paper that I can use …. I don’t write consecutively from the beginning to the next chapter and so on to the end. I just fill in the gaps of the picture, of this jigsaw puzzle which is quite clear in my mind, picking out a piece here and there and filling out part of the sky and part of the landscape and part of the – I don’t know, the carousing hunters.”
— Nabokov, in Strong Opinions
