@TR

One of the key facts about Nabokov is that he was a cranky old man his whole life.

Lmao

Hemingway talks about Dostoyevsky's unique style quite a lot in A Moveable Feast.

One famous quote is: “I've been wondering about Dostoyevsky. How can a man write so badly, so unbelievably badly, and yet make you feel so deeply.”

Nabokov was based and I will die on that hill :#marseyindignant:

He was also a terrific writer, Pale Fire is one of my favorite novels and I find it impressive how a Russian had such a command of the English language
