Exactly my thoughts. But perhaps because the first half of the book feels like a pedo fantasy slowly coming true and the second half is a bucket of cold, sobering water. And driving.

Try me. Prose quality is purely a[e]s[s]thetic. It is better to focus on what matters, things independent of medium or language, than on flowery wordiness.

False. In literature, prose is more important above all else. I would read a story about a guy eating a bag of chips if it were written skilfully.

Bruh. Its pretty obvious. Women want to be raped and brutalized and are obsessed with it. They also want to create this image in their head of the secret sensitivity of their rapist, he is giga chad brute but he is also so sensitive and cultured. Plus its actually good and Nabokov is a genius. And it is one of the emotionally affecting novels of all time.

>Women want to be raped and brutalized and are obsessed with it.
Women are turned on by being desired.
So it's the unhinged desire associated with rape that allures them, not the actual fact of the unconsented abuse.

But yes, generally you are correct.

He did the translation to Russian himself and found working with Russian quite harder and less elegant than with English. It was a disappointment.

His Russian peaked with The Gift, anyway.
