How is Nabokov able to craft worlds and characters better than any other writer?
>>7483226
simple, he isnt.
>>7483227
Who is better?
>>7483229
Joyce.

I can't argue the point meaningfully with you, I tried dubliners and put it down before I was even halfway in.

Joyce, James. Great. A favorite between the ages of 20 and 40, and thereafter. Let people compare me to Joyce by all means, but my English is patball to Joyce's champion game. A genius.
Ulysses. A divine work of art. Greatest masterpiece of 20th century prose. Towers above the rest of Joyce's writing. Noble originality, unique lucidity of thought and style. Molly's monologue is the weakest chapter in the book. Love it for its lucidity and precision.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Never liked it. A feeble and garrulous book.
Finnegans Wake. A formless and dull mass of phony folklore, a cold pudding of a book. Conventional and drab, redeemed from utter insipidity only by infrequent snatches of heavenly intonations. Detest it. A cancerous growth of fancy word-tissue hardly redeems the dreadful joviality of the folklore and the easy, too easy, allegory. Indifferent to it, as to all regional literature written in dialect. A tragic failure and a frightful bore.

Childhood sexual abuse warps the brain, I'm pretty sure it happened to him. He's the smartest author, though.

a picture isn't a 1000 words in this case, i don't know what you mean.
Honestly it was a pretty good attempt. I wish he had started doing it earlier in his career.
>>7483373
arent you ashamed yet?
>>7483378
Why should I be?
>>7483381
because you don't know why you should be.
>That feel when you aren't an adolescent running around an estate, falling in love.
Feels good, man. Read Ada. It beats posting pictures of people laughing online.
>>7483386
no one is laughing anymore, OP.
>>7483392
No one's posting on this board, either. It's slow. Nice crops though.

He'd never pull it off. The new york review of books posted an article about how he wrote letter after letter to his own wife that turned her off just like two months ago. he sucked at relationships.
>>7483410
>thinks it requires love letters to rape children
>>7483414
He's just bad at relating to people in general. He was probably raped when he was young.
>>7483417
>thinks being raped as a child is a competent excuse for diddling toddlers
Invitation to a Beheading > Lolita
>>7483226
I didn't like Lolita. I felt it dragged along too much and had to stop reading 40 pages in.
