  1. Почитать "Лолиту" возле памятника Владимиру Набокову, что может быть лучше. Похоже все приличные люди стремились покинуть Россию.

  3. Oh, the irony! 💻 A 2011 article boldly claiming #Nabokov as the OG #hypertext wizard, yet it can't even load without #JavaScript sorcery and cookie crumbs. 🍪 Because, obviously, nothing screams "literary genius" like browser settings! 🙄

  7. In The Defense, Nabokov’s language is, as always, rich, sharp, and full of vivid imagery and wordplay.

    The characters, however, feel strangely soulless and do not inspire sympathy. It even seems that the author treats them with a kind of superiority bordering on contempt.

  11. Today is Nabokov’s birthday.

    A serious butterfly specialist and a brilliant #literature professor in the US, famous for his lectures.

    Speaking of Lolita: he did not write a #romance. He wrote a chilling masterclass in manipulation and self-justification.

    Predators like #Epstein crave beautiful alibis. #Nabokov offers none. He gives us a liar so eloquent that the #readers has to struggle not to be deceived.

  15. A palavra da noite é “Lolita”; o escritor é Nabokov.

  16. I finished Nabokov's "Pnin" last night.

    What a delight it was! Funny, clever, and oddly moving.

    I would recommend getting hold of the Everyman's Library edition, as the introduction by David Lodge is both informative and perceptive.

  24. #Nabokov is a lazy #author. You're telling me you couldn't come up with a better name than "Humbert Humbert"? Hope you all look forward to my new novel, starring Jackson Jackson.

  31. 1/12

    Finished reading Nabokov's novel Pale Fire yesterday.

    Reviewing a novel of this depth in a few short toots is pretty ridiculous, so I won't even try doing this. I'm not a literary critic or very knowledgeable about literary analysis, just a reader, so I'll just write some general impressions here.

    Spoilers to Pale Fire ahead.
