So /lit/, if Nabokov read your novel, what would he say about it, or you as a writer?
Mine would probably go something like

his synesthesia makes it so the 'colors' of the words have to be pleasing for him
probably why he had such a wide vocabulary

No, it's more than that, since he said stupid things like Shakespeare is a beautiful writer, but shouldn't be performed, only read

What would Nabokov think of modern writers like DFW, Tao Lin and John Green?
