Are there any fans of his writings here? I personally love his style of writing, especially in the book "Nostromo"

I am either learning or remembering this just now.I was impressed, personally, that English was not his native language, but he wrote beautifully in it.

Not to take anything away from Nabokov, who was just amazing, but he was taught English from a very early age, along with other languages, and so had a lot of time to be comfortable with them. As noted in his autobiography, his father was dismayed that he could read and write English but not Russian at age 6.
