The portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Can someone who has read his Russian stuff tell me how hard to read it is compared to Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy?

>>8610381
You mean in Russian? I've read all of his work but translated, and he's generally a lot easier to comprehend than Tolstoy.

>>8610287
That's possibly his weakest work.

>>8610925
Weakest? Don't be absurd.

The Tragedy of Mister Morn (etc) are leagues below Mary.

And Nabokov is clearly one of the greatest of all time, does anyone seriously disagree with this?

His novels are pretty short, just pick up one of his easier work like The Defense or Pnin. They are comfy asf too.
