Yes, but that first or second reading for the general meaning, the
hard labor that Nabokov describes in his famous lecture Good Readers,
must be done first. To not understand basic ideas here, ideas that
have been detailed in many critical readings, and then go at difficult
lines and passages, is a bit like putting on a blindfold, sticking
one's head up an elephant's ass and then exclaiming, "The elephant is
like a giant and dirty cunt."
