Quote:It's probably one of the best novels of all time, in my opinion.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Some of us are so entitled, we even get a 'Fuck You' for expressing that opinion.
Quote:Nabokov is certainly a great writer and it's a shame that his other books don't get much attention.
Well, you know. Fuck You.
Quote:To be fair, neither film version is totally true to the original novel,
No film ever is. Fuck You.
Quote:but, seriously, given the heights of the original novel, and, you know, the content, it would be very surprising if it wound up being so.
You're correct, that would be very surprising. Fuck You.
Quote:It's very rare that a truly great novel is adapted into an truly great film, especially if it's true to the original novel. And that's the truth!
Perfectly true. Fuck You.
Quote:Also, it's pronounced na-BOH-kov.
Good point. Quite a lot of non-English names suffer at the hands of native English speakers. Fuck You.
Quote:I had a writing teacher from Serbia who insisted on pronouncing it correctly.
I'm curious - was your writing teacher published at all (other than self-published)? It seems that most people who teach creative writing do so because they aren't good enough to make it as real writers. Fuck You.
And - while I'm at it - Fuck Lolita, Fuck NAHbokov, Fuck Serbian writing teachers, and Fuck You And Anyone Who Looks Like You.
Hugs and kisses,
Boru
