It is easy for me to understand just about any criticism of Lolita, but “turgid“ prose? In my mind it is one of the most beautifully written books in the history of modern English. That makes the book profoundly troubling for me, although of course I feel that no books should be banned for any reason.

He wrote Lolita in English and then translated it himself into Russian. The original and the translation show profound mastery in both languages.
