Nabokov:If the book has great philosophical themes and it doesn't have good prose... then who fucking cares?

Bret Easton Ellis:Well, let's just say hypothetically ok? What if the book has good philosophical discourse?

[pause, all laugh]

Bret Easton Ellis:I know, I know.

[all in unison]

All:There are no novels with good philosophical discourse!

Dickens:A good philosophy consists of a book with a little hard cover, which will satisfy all storyline demands without being too plot driven about things, and will essentially will keep its dumb fucking themes unexplored.

Nabokov:The only novels with good philosophies which are smart or maybe funny or halfway intelligent or insightful, though god knows what the fuck that means, are badly written books.

Dickens:Absolutely.

Nabokov:And this is because they have to make up for how fucking awful their prose is.
