*uses weighty metaphysical tome to cave your skull in*

"There is something missing in all of Nabokov’s work. His starchy aestheticism comes through as cold, crystalline, and almost inhuman. We wait in vain for that warm human glow that pervades all the works of Gogol, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov. And his work lacks the psychological or emotional depth that might have compensated for the limited range of characters and situations."

"When I read Lolita, I was initially overwhelmed by the verbal fireworks and the sparkling wit, but I eventually tired of it, and didn’t finish it; it didn’t seem to be going anywhere."

"One can hear the clatter of surgical tools in Nabokov's prose."

"Nabokov inaugurated the literary cult(ure) of book nerds, of books by and for bookish types, and, more egregiously, books about elite middle-class professionals (i.e., wankers)."

"Nabokov‘s work theoretically deals only with questions of art and style. The artist and his art present readers with aloofness, indifference, and hermeticism It is all mechanics: the perfect Swiss watch; the prototype of a post-Darwinian vision of both life and art, devoid of any spiritual dimension and denying any ordering force in the universe."

"Essentially a bore.. self-indulgent fantasy."

"Don Quixote chased after a dream, and unwittingly traversed through a dangerous and changing world; Nabokov chased after butterflies, and undoubtedly acquired some scrapes and bruises. Which one was the fool?"

"Into the trash it goes"

back to r9k, chad

See justice done on Aaron, that damn'd Moor,
By whom our heavy haps had their beginning:
Then, afterwards, to order well the state,
That like events may ne'er it ruinate.
