I understand where the 'corn' meme came from, but how did it come to be associated with Nabokov?

The whole Kolsti phenomenon was the moment I realized that I just don't get postmodernism, and probably never will.

>> No.6336496

>>6336487
by phenomenon you mean three or four anons pushing it because they thought it would be hilarious to force a meme?

My impression was that a certain number of /lit/izens were genuinely impressed with his poetry.

>> No.6336504

>>6336487
The whole "Kolsti phenomenom" was just him and two or three others spamming praise and a bunch of turds hopped on the bandwagon because they don't know how to read for themselves.

if they did they were idiots and should be ignored. you can't keep caring to distinguish trolling and stupidity all your life, it's trash.

>>6336503
Idiots, maybe. His poetry was genuinely bad. It was all gimmick with some memes to make the average 4chan user smile and clap to themselves and say "haha so true, I get that!" Really, the things he wrote about have all been done better and he brought nothing new to the table. To a poetry enthusiast that has never been to 4chan, the poems would look like silly blather.
His prose is better than his poetry by miles, which isn't saying much.

>> No.6336610

>>6336524
Yeah, I agree that his poetry is amusing at best. But I sincerely believe that, given that he's 17 right now, he could be the best prose stylist of his generation. His little prose vignettes are minorly genius. He reminds me of David Foster Wallace but with Kanye's arrogance instead of mountains of bland asthmatic self-deprecation.

>> No.6336618

Other than that one emoji poem when does he ever really make an appeal to 4chan? I'm not saying he's the next Whitman, but where's the memery?

Probably referencing Sanctuary.

>The District Attorney returned, stepped into her line of vision. She moved her head; he caught her gaze and held it and lifted the stained corncob before her eyes.
>The room sighed, a long hissing breath.
>"Did you ever see this before?"
>"Yes."


>The drummers sat a while longer along the curb before the hotel, Horace among them; the south-bound train ran at one o'clock. "They're going to let him get away with it, are they?" a drummer said. "With that corn cob? What kind of folks have you got here? What does it take to make you folks mad?"
>"He wouldn't a never got to trial, in my town," a second said.

You can't have a corn father general thread, OP, you're fucking the meme up. That's not how it's intended to be used, you're disturbing the natural order of the universe.
