Why didn't you faggots tell me his books other than Lolita and Pale Fire were fucking good? God, you truly are faggots, sometimes.

Well, I've been here since January, I'm not an oldfag, but all you mention is Lolita and Pale Fire, and occasionally Ada, but the rest seemed like a blurred window. No Laughter in the Dark, no Despair, no Speak, Memory, no short stories. Nabokov is a much richer author than I thought. He's underrated here.

>> No.12021126

but there's a nabokov chart and just yersterday someone started a thread on the eye and have seen a couple on ada or ardor

>> No.12021132

also saw one on despair last week maybe and got recommended signs and symbols here it was pretty good!

>> No.12021134

Speak, Memory is, or at least was, often mentioned. Funnily enough I’ve been most inspired to read Nabokov after seeing the excellent films made out of his Despair and Laughter in the Dark, same with an author like Lazlo Krasznahorkai
