Great. Now I have to throw out my Borges collection. Nabokov is better anyway.
>>
>>25599669
Never thought to compare the two but Borges is better than Nabokov. And he's not even trying, which makes it uglier.
>borges
i didnt finish ulysses but it's a masterpiece
>nabokov
hurr here's a whole class but i'm going to skip over the complex chapters
>>
Nabokov is an illuminati coded pos fraud. You're telling me the guy who coined the whole loli thing wasn't a high ranking pedophile? Give me a break

>You're telling me the guy who coined the whole loli thing wasn't a high ranking pedophile?
Yes. Nabokov actually despised the pedo character he created. That's why he wrote the wholesome Pnin, as a way of having a break from that weasel Humbert Humbert.
Lolita is really more about the stagnant, old europe falling for the young, vital and vulgar but charming young america
>>
I hate hearing about fucking Nabokov! No, I didn’t take any of his criticisms of my favorite writers seriously. I have met many sensitive murders and soulful prostitute. Nabokov is for juvenile readers wishing to seem literate.

>You can't say anything against negroes. The only merit they have is that they've been mistreated
This is true btw
Borges is much better than Nabokov. They don't have much in common except being broadly "metafictional". Borges is a fabulist and Nabokov is a novelist, among fabulists Borges is first rate and among novelists Nabokov is good but second rate. Borges is also a much better literary critic than Nabokov: essays like Kafka and his Precursors or The Wall and the Books are some of the best literary theory ever written.

>anti-black-people quote that manages to reference George Bernard Shaw

How patrician is this? I kneel.

>its all le allegory guys, I'm not pushing pedophilia, I promise

>>25599893
Prove that he was a pedo, buster.
>>
>>25599669
Lolita is slightly better than ficciones and aleph.
>>
>>25599911
His work Lolita pushed pedophilia into the public discourse and in honor of him even Japanese pedos forever reference it when talking about underage girls
>>
>>25599918
>nabokov is just based
we know anon
>>
>>25599935
And there it is, tacit admission he was an illuminati agent like most "artists"
>>
>>25599918
I'm still waiting for the proofs that he was a actual, liteal pedo HIMSELF and that he DELIBERATELY pushed pedophilia because he WAS one

This is an absolute banger of a line. It's completely true. Other than being the literal slaves of various other races, what merit do dark-skinned people classically have? All heavily-Black areas of any given country are a shithole, and huge swaths of Africa are shitholes, too.

They are undeniably great at making music.

Substantially overrepresentedn in American pornography as actors.
>>
>>25599669
Borges liked to say things. You could probably collect a giant pile of sayings of his shitting on just about everything except the English, whom he unconditionally loved because Argentine.
Borges was more enjoyable than Nabokov, desu. But this may be because of cultural affinity.
>>25599701
Galkovskian interpretation. Teebeeich.
>>
>>25599946
why are you acting like promoting it is ok
>>
>>25600047
Because he's a pornbrained atheoid who makes ai porn all the time
>>
>>25600018
And really. Borges had questionable taste in English literature, imo.
Really fitting name, really. They made the most bourgeois man ever and named him George Bougie.
>>
>>25600067
Literally George Louis Bourgeois. Nominative determinism.
