Death in Venice is the shortest thing by him I've read. I thought it marvelous, though Nabokov said it was "asinine" and deemed Mann a "mediocrity".

Why is Nabokov so salty?

I don't know for sure, but I suspect Nabokov had a bias against spirituality and strong religious themes. The tone of much of Mann is lofty and otherworldly and I think Nabokov considered this mountebank-style phoniness. You can see for yourself in this partial listing of Nabokov's views of other writers. The more spiritual ones (like Dostoevsky) seem to receive the greatest scorn.

He must have really hated Hesse then, if he ever even bothered to read him.

Bad bait

>Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously.
