Nabokov didnt like Dostoyevsky either, especially Karamazov https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/23/magazine/nabokov-on-dostoyevsky.html https://www.nytimes.com/1981

  He was a noted hater of many great authors and works so naming one target of his doesn’t carry much weight

    It's true, but he was such a good hater that one has to love him for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8OwyqvSh2g#t=438 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8OwyqvSh2g#t=438

  His criticism of characters being laid bare at the beginning of the novel is fair, especially in Karamazov. Unlike Nabokov I don't think it detracts from the work.
