family dinner
uncles are great writers
what happens”

Two geniuses and three hacks.

They all look like they’re laughing at Nabakov’s expense because Dostoevsky mimicked Vlad’s critique of his “ghastly rigamarole” in a silly voice
>>
>>25251080
Kafka and Dosto would never be this happy. Nabokov would probably have a "notice-me-senpai" situation with Shakespeare and a "I hate you and hope you die" situation with Tolstoy.

Franz Kafka and Shakespeare.

I recognize Shakespeare, Leo Tolstoy, JRR Tolkien, John Von Neumann and Ben Shapiro from my astigmatism. Note, I am wearing glasses..

Your astigmatism is so bad you need a Pentacam to rule out keratoconus.

Shakespeare would be the fun uncle, the most sociable, the center of attention. He'd be flamboyant, funny, and generally loved by everyone. More concerned with people than with ideas.

Tolstoy would be sociable but collected, giving family members sound advice, but allowing himself to get riled up into spirited conversation on certain political topics. He'd be a good confidant and have somewhat of a grandfatherly role.

Dostoevsky would be moody and somewhat abrasive but would have a great time playing cards and drinking after dinner. Scary to kids but great with teens and older.

Nabokov would be a great, witty conversationalist but a bit distant. Would bring nice gifts to the nieces and nephews but would never get very close. Him, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky would probably get into heated debates at the dinner table.

Kafka would be anxious, mostly silent in company, but you'd have some of the best heart-to-heart conversations with him smoking on the porch late at night.

>I hate Russians
You basically said

It's quite funny considering that Nabby was a cosmopolitan and didn't put too much emphasis on his nationality.

every single day i would text them telling them they're not that great because i know them personally. then i would tell people i know them, then i wouldn't go to their funeral because they didn't buy me presents
