Why would you write a book like this?

Because Nabokov is truly a pervert, but not in the everyday definition that people use. He is a literary pervert, and this shines through in his prose. He matches this style with actual perverted acts like in Lolita and Ada because it meshes well together and creates a great dynamic piece. When I say his prose is perverted in a purely literary style, I mean that he is too prying. He is always pulling away the covers to expose the sour nudity, but in way that is removed from the expelling of falsities and more in line with going a little too far in the show. And so there is beauty in this sober maxim. His perverted prose divorced from perverted themes can be found in his short stories and his pre-American novels.

To highlight the hidden beauty of decadence. A lovely ugliness.

It's a work of aesthetic value design to filter over-socialized moralists. Congrats bro, you fell for the bait.

"For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm. There are not many such books."
