Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian.

Nabokov was just insecure because he lacked the same insight into the Russian soul. He was americanized and he knew it

His lack of insight into the Russian soul also probably had something to do with him being a Jew.

That’s obviously not true. It’s like if I said Joyce is only about people in Dublin during the early 20th century. Faulkner is much more grander, you only think he’s confined to that because his name has become associated with every racial book released nowadays. If Faulkner were writing today, it wouldn’t be about black people experiencing institutionalized racism, I can guarantee you that.

"Regional" is the peak brainlet adjective for literature. God, how I hate these idiots who try to divide literature into universal and regional. That's why we end up with shitty globalist, cosmopolitan and inauthentic novels. If Faulkner is regional, then everyone who doesn't live in London or New York is done.

The thing you need to learn about Nabokov is that he was supremely jelly of the real Russians who wrote and found success writing in Russian while he had to scribble pathetic English words for a living. A ressented old fart. A stand-up comedian for people on electric scooters. Edgy, convoluted, devoid of literary merit. Skip it entirely.
