Just finished pic related and holy shit what a masterpiece. What an incredible novel. After finishing it I just sat back in my chair thinking to myself "holy shit".
What does it all mean?

it means you should read Pnin, Pale Fire, Ada, and his other novels because they are just as good if not better

It means you liked the book. Congrats.

Nothing. Nabokov is a master writer. He's not interested in shitty shallow shyster-tier pseudo-psychological-philosophical hackery.

What's the best translation of Lolita? I always get hung up on Russian translations and the various editions of Lolita never seem to specify who translated it...Bizarre.

Why did you sit back into your chair and thought to yourself "holy shit" if you didn't understand any of it?

I mean I have my own interpretation, I just wanted to see what other people thought.
Also, fuck off with the attitude.

You're an idiot.
If this is bait, then that's some decent bait, made me reply.

Max Boschenbach's is my favorite, but Edwin Harrowsworth's is acceptable too. Avoid Margaret Quilty's.
good thread, pls continue
