I realize this is satire, but the current crop of students can’t interpret ants at a picnic without seeing everything through a distorted ideological lens comprised of platitudes, fallacies, and outright lies.

Nabokov is too difficult for them.

While Lolita is well known, it isn’t all Nabokov wrote.

My favorite is Speak Memory.

Trivia: Ruth Bader Ginsburg took Nabokov’s Literature class at Cornell.
