Ever read it? It’s as good as any for sure.
Yes, I have. I admit to not being much of a fan of the Russians, but objectively, I can think of probably a hundred books as well written as anything Nabokov ever penned, including works by his fellow Russians -- Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pasternak, Solzhenitzyn, etc.. I am not saying it's bad, but to rate it the best book of the century? Utter balderdash!
