Corncobby chronicles.

In Nabokov's "Lectures on Literature" he insists that the proper way to read a novel is to pay attention to every minute detail. For him world building is the most essential part of literature; the reader must visualize with great detail every scene and character. In fact Nabokov would often draw complex maps of the books he read in order to have a full geographical account of the story from start to finish. Is this necessary? Can't you just read a book and enjoy the story and characters, or do you need to autistically account for every single detail that the author mentions?

Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian.
