"words cannot express how personally challenging I am finding it to read this.
I am equal parts frustrated and bewitched by Nabokov’s heady prose, and, besides, completely uninterested in the plot.
It’s been like a month of trying to read this at every interval and I have not been “sucked in” once. It’s just me running up against stodgy sentences and chipping my teeth. Seeing the forest for the trees etc" — Apr 09, 2026 08:14PM

I reached way back in Arkansas somewhere. By the time my fist had traveled all the way down to the Cherokee Strip, there was a lot of power behind it.
“Once California belonged to Mexico and its land to Mexicans; and a horde of tattered feverish Americans poured in. And such was their hunger for land that they took the land, stole Sutter's land, Guerrero' s land, took the grants and broke them up and growled and quarreled over them, those frantic hungry men; and they guarded with guns the land they had stolen. They put up houses and barns, they turned the earth and planted crops. And these things were possession, and possession was ownership.
The Mexicans were weak and fed. They could not resist, because they wanted nothing in the world as frantically as the Americans wanted land.”
― The Grapes of Wrath

“I wanted him to snap, to finally and absolutely lose it. To break. He was withering. To wither is not the same as to break; to break is to have pieces to put back together, and to wither is to dry up, to wilt, to lose bone, to die, and death is the most boring.”
