No Thanks, Mr. Nabokov

[David Morris]

To each his own, I guess.  I loved Lolita.  It's a perfect blend of
comedy, tragedy, simmering sex and style.  But I think the praise N
received for Lolita ruined his later novels.  It was all downhill
afterwards.

First of all, if it's style over substance, the style isn't even that great, or at least not that engaging.  And the first person has to be the laziest way to "delve" into a character.
