A formless and dull mass of phony folklore, a cold pudding of a book. Conventional and drab, redeemed from utter insipidity only by infrequent snatches of heavenly intonations. Detest it. A cancerous growth of fancy word-tissue hardly redeems the dreadful joviality of the folklore and the easy, too easy, allegory. Indifferent to it, as to all regional literature written in dialect. A tragic failure and a frightful bore.

I thought you might have been referring to what Pynchon said about Foster Wallace tbqhfamalamadingdong

Because if you can intelligently, assuredly, poetically hate on many things it makes your fans and plebs think you are special and if you criticize all the greatest works in history, it must mean your work is much better than them, so great PR move, and are you not aware how bullies feel better about themselves by bullying?

Kek'd, that's how I would describe Nabokov's writings.
