The article considers the case of Vladimir Nabokov’s Russian novel Kamera Obskura (1933) and its self-translation Laughter in the Dark (1938). Through a series of examples taken from the texts involved in the translation process, the article shows that a previous English translation, made by an external translator but refused by the author, has played a significant role in the genesis of Laughter in the Dark.
