How is Nabokov able to craft worlds and characters better than any other writer?

I wouldn't say he is better than any other writer, but he was one of the best of the last hundred years without a doubt.
Why? He had something we don't.
Should I read this
>>320807536
yeah, but it's difficult.
>>320807536
Not unless you have read a lot of other excellent literature. I don't think this one is at the forefront of books I would recommend.

What about Lolita? Surely it has to be readable for someone who browses this site too much
>>320807753
yeah sure but it's about a road trip and not about lewd.

Lolita's a good starting point. Maybe reading one of his better short stories will help.

Listen—I want to run all my life, screaming at the top of my lungs. Let all of life be an unfettered howl. Like the crowd greeting the gladiator.
Don’t stop to think, don’t interrupt the scream, exhale, release life’s rapture. Everything is blooming. Everything is flying. Everything is screaming, choking on its screams. Laughter. Running. Let-down hair. That is all there is to life.
