Agreed. He's a shit poet. It's clear he meant the atrocious poem in Pale Fire to be good but put in the BS meta commentary to hedge his bets. Good thing he did.

Literally every other novelist writer that started out as a poet is better. Houellebecq is a much better poet than Nabokov.

>> No.13767486

Yeah, it was kind of clever to hide his mediocrity as a plot device.

That's correct, Houellebecq is superior to Nabokov as a poet. I'm not even joking.

I've only read a few of Houellebecq's poem but if you're right holy shit that doesn't bode well for Nabokov.

>> No.13767565

>>13767550
Giga cope and offtopic. His narrative is not the subject here but rather his poetry. Go suck his dick in some other thread.

>> No.13767575

>>13767556
It's that bad. Nabokov belongs in that category of wannabe poets who better became novelists, like Bolaño.

Bolano has way better novels than Nabokov. 2666 slaps Nabby's ass back to pederast hell.
