“The weakness of his soul was in relying upon itself instead of trusting in you”

enamored with nabokov's writing. absolute mastery in this english translation (his son translated it under vladimir's supervison!)

he said that he learned how to write in english before he started speaking russian, and i believe it.

you can see the wordplay and the genius that comes in this work, and it's so subtle—I LOVE IT SO MUCH. might be a favorite of all time but imma finish this book and get back to you!

this might be the greatest work i've read in this russian literature class, HANDS DOWN

professor, thank you for saving the best till last.


no wait, if cincinnatus does not die, this will be ABSOLUTE CINEMA
