What are your thoughts on him? Discuss his work

>writes pretentious and unhinged characters like Humbert and Kinbote
>Illustrates this by having them writing really over-the-top near laughable prose, like an over the hill tryhard academic desperate to establish some kind of legacy despite his mediocrity
>Actually pretentious under-read teenagers mistake this clown show for genuinely beautiful writing at face value

We need to rescue the little girl...

All of you are pathetic and sad! But if I'm needed, I'll do my part

Start writing the colors your hear

>he's a virgin
>he thinks he can write convincing character interactions
>he thinks he can write non-virgin characters
>he thinks he can write female characters
>he thinks he can write a plot that won't be marred by his ignorance of an essential life experience
What do you think, is it impossible to be a virgin and to be a good writer?

So would the words in books he read be colorful?

she's right about faulkner t.b.h.

He was an old timer Russian who probably couldn’t find condoms in a marketplace until he came to the United States, probably by around the 50s. I mean, old timers never really used rubbers since it wasn’t really part of the culture back then. It was more like timing periods and pulling out. But even then you’d have multiple kids over time with those methods since a man as manly as Nabokov probably had an irresistible urge to flood his wife’s cunt. He probably had a pretty strong libido given his sex scenes in Ada and how they’re written. And he was in his 60s then! Imagine how often he was cranking out quarts in his 60, then triple that to see how many he got when he first married Vera. That poor woman probably had to have the plumber’s number written next to the bed stand. The man was probably a beast who drained his shaggy aristocratic balls at least twice a morning and thrice an evening. There’s no way Vera could quaff all that cum in any of her holes, she’d need a cum pump at the hospital if she swallowed, a bucket the size of a swimming pool if she spat, a bottle of laxitives the volume of an industrial tank if she took it solely up the ass (I’m sure nabby was a Joycean), so that leaves the option of raw dog vaginal action. Given that he filled each other hole before getting balls deep in gash, he probably had three pint sized evening cums left. That’s every day. Assuming he stopped 6 days before ovulation, and started again a day after, that’s a week of no vaginal fun. There’s no way he pulled out, he was a man of commitment, which is why he was wrote in Russian for years after exile. No, he probably drained the main vein onto a cum rag of some sort, and probably had to do it 3 times a day for a week of every month. That works out to 21 pints of seed a month, or 252 pints a year.

That’s almost 32 gallons of cum a year.

What's his best work other than Lolita, Pale Fire and Ada?

Looking for books that explore the most pathetic attributes of our species.

Not in an Elliot Rodger way, but in a condescending and elitist Nabokov way. I want to laugh at people being petty and greedy and low-minded. Bonus points for /comfy winter feels/.

Comedy, not Tragedy.

who are the essential soyboy authors besides pic related?

Reccomend me a Nabokov. I like his magical and metafictional narratives best.
I've read:
Ada or Ardor
The Luzhin Defense
Lolita
Pale Fire
Invitation to a Beheading
Pnin

>writes the best novel and the best poem of the 20th century simultaneously
