Who are some "authors" you can't stand?
>Camus
Dislike him. Second-rate, ephemeral, puffed-up. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me. Awful.
>Sartre
Even more awful than Camus.

This board's fascination with Nabokov's quips against other authors is so embarassing. Study those writers' work for yourselves. Or even Nabokov's. Something. Just pay attention to literature and not the social climbing and sniping, you fraudulent fucks.

Shakespeare. Gibberish! Signifying nothing. A true genius would compose clear and simple sentences, eschewing obsolete words for the language of the time. Hark! Methinks he was a retard!

Isn't this a Nabokov quote?

>> No.10912448

>>10912186
The thing you have to understand about Nabokov's quips are that they're made in jest and to just attract attention to himself as a writer. What better way to get publicity than to criticize a famous writer as bad? Have you heard of Donal Trump? Looks like Ol' Donny reads the Nabby quite often.

I don't think Trump really knows how to read. Not illiteracy, but more extremely short attention span and absolute disinterest in literature. He speaks like a scrabble board that only allows two syllable words.

Not that anon but I don't see it. I'm an INFP and he seems INFJ by a mile.

INFJ are one of the least pompous, because they're the least affected. And if anyone is seeing through other people, it's the INFJ. That's their prime raison. They have super stats for that shit.
