@HeerJeet Thoughout his work or just his late work? (By late work I mean post-Pnin)
Reading Nabokov you can occasionally hear him chortling in the background at his own cleverness & verbal wonders. A major flaw in his work.

@matthunte More in the late work than earlier (although if I could read Russian I might notice it in early work as well). - Show replies

@HeerJeet Yes. Although his best creations (Humbert and Kinbote) seem to be fairly vicious critiques of this tendency. He was aware, IMO. -
@adambarken Oh yeah, absolutely agree. Nabokov was super-smart & aware of his own flaws & limits.
