<< Ulysses towers over the rest of Joyce's writings, and in
comparison to its noble  originality  and  unique  lucidity
 of thought  and  style  the  unfortunate  Finnegans Wake is
nothing but a formless and dull mass of phony folklore, a
cold pudding  of  a  book, a persistent snore in the next room,
most aggravating to the insomniac! I am. Moreover, I always
detested regional literature full  of  quaint  old-timers  and
imitated pronunciation.  Finnegans Wake's facade disguises a very
conventional and drab tenement house, and only  the
infrequent snatches   of   heavenly   intonations  redeem  it  from
utter insipidity. I know I am going to  be  excommunicated  for
this pronouncement.>>

Are you trying to slip this comment of Nabokov's past as your own?
