Liked the way you presented and broke down the sentences. Read Lolita a long back, and was mesmerized by Nabokov's poetic writing style. Wish I would have read more of his works.

Insightful article. Thank you for writing and sharing it, Tanuj. It makes me wonder about all the other paragraphs that made you straighten your back. Hopefully this kind of analysis becomes a series of sorts.

Did not think I’d ever be tempted to read Nabokov - still seems too posh for me with his la-di-dah Cambridge cabs and tea. But your analysis of this thing makes me want to give it a go. Thank you.

Really enjoyed reading this, the way you parse the prose. I think this is now my second favourite of your posts (after the one about writers and writing in Muzaffarnagar). Thank you very much for sharing it.

Is there an emoji to describe that cab, ....or the way you're transporting everything on simple web...?

Will read again,

Thanks 🙏🏼
