i miss the emotional connection of the poem, even Pynchon's Oedipa Maas felt more human, i could share her losing grasp of reality. i dont feel anything about kinbote.

still so much fun to read, but feels quite directionless after that purpose-full poem so early on. its probably on purpose but what purpose? purpose

nabokovs prose is still incredible but i still dont like reading kinbote and i guess this is all this is going to be

really love reading this, nabokov is obviously extremely talented as a writer. i wonder how much he inserts himself in the characters, esp. the old poet. that poem was fucking awesome !! and seemed so personal in its autobiographical details

very fun to read but im cautious how this narrator (which is written with acidic parody) develops and especially him being gay..
