Hating Faulkner and Camus is a major pseud move.

Lolita devolves to little more than a B movie plot with flimsy prose halfway through - its legacy is B movies and porn that tries to have a plot. Pale Fire is decent but it's 75% wankery.

Why are all his stories so disgusting?

Cervantes, Miguel de.

Don Quixote. A cruel and crude old book.

Hating Dostoyevsky makes him a plebeian though

>it's 75% wankery

But that’s a good thing, wanky lit is best lit

>liked Austen
>disliked Dostoevsky, Pound, Marx, Freud, Camus, Sarte, and Celine

Dostoyevsky is for mostly for American midwits who think that reading entry-level Russian lit makes them cultured

That isnt an insult lol

yeah, and?

Wasnt he the ultimate prosefag? It seems odd that he would hate Celine

the jokes in the book are crude

How is he complimenting the book by calling it both crude and cruel?

it is not a compliment and it is not an insult. stop replying to me.

Dostoevsky is just philosophy for people too retarded to read actual philosophy.

>Osberg
>berg
he knew Borges' deep secret

I thought it was more a reference to Borges' passion for German philosophy.

it was just a well-camouflaged anagram, that's it

>loved Hegel
>hated Marx
based af

It's never just that with Nabokov.

Agreed on hating faulkner and camus being a pseud move

>hated commies
Based

osberg is a norwegian name, not jewish

Just like Iverson

>loved: Tolstoy
>hated: Dostoevsky
Men of vanity get attracted to each other, it seems.

fuck off, Aris
most of the FGC tolerates you, at best

>loved homoway
what a gaylord

I love Nabokov's work but he was such a fucking faggot

Shut up.

Did anyone else discover Bely through him?
