>Finnegans Wake. A formless and dull mass of phony folklore, a cold pudding of a book. Conventional and drab, redeemed from utter insipidity only by infrequent snatches of heavenly intonations. Detest it. A cancerous growth of fancy word-tissue hardly redeems the dreadful joviality of the folklore and the easy, too easy, allegory. Indifferent to it, as to all regional literature written in dialect. A tragic failure and a frightful bore.

Who is Finnegan. Its Finnegans (Irish) wake (aka rise up)
Daniel Smith
That's a real quote. Maybe he disliked it so much that he didn't bother to check its name when he wrote Pale Fire.

If the Wake is conventional then I don't know what Nabokov's novels are. You can pretty much call it anything you want except that lmao

It's probably the editor or publisher (Vintage), I remember reading Blood Meridian in a Vintage edition and the Spanish bits were a mess.

Anthony Rodriguez
Odd because he considered Ulysses of the greatest of the century
Connor Jenkins
With some reserve though. He disliked steam of consciousness, vulgarity and cliched jew figure.

Finnegans Wake is an old Irish folk song that Joyce used for the title. The song itself was about a bar owner falling off a ladder drunk and dying, but ressurecting at his own wake after having whiskey poured on him.
William Green
Literally everyone
Nabokov is a fucking moron. No one cares about his work anymore.
Wyatt Lee
By the way, I’m pretty sure Leopold is based off his father’s Jewish friend who was indeed a cuckold.

Isn't a cuckold supposed to enjoy seeing his woman be fucked?
Austin Stewart

Anthony Sanders

Nolan White

Logan Wood
FW is pseudery this is just a tribute
Samuel Allen
This is literally what he meant by it. NAB hated Joyce. Only thought some writing conventions in his most popular book were of note. That aside, he didn't have nice things to say. Some retard the other day said he wasa fan. He wasn't. Wasn't at all. Joyce was a pseud and everyone who likes him is a Pseud. When I see people singing his praises, or DFW's, I know they are undergraduate retards studying English/Literature (cringe) regurgitating what their professor told them. Fuck Joyce and FUCK DFW and fuck
Ian Smith
Even if I agree with him, I hate this guy already.

Dubliners and portrait are good
