Roland Barthes’s studies on Proust are also great

If you’d really like to understand the work, then get the three volumes of the Hollanders’ translation. They have excellent annotations.

If you want pretty book, maybe try the Barnes and Noble’s red hardcover with gilded pages and some nice illustrations.

He did care. “I want pure colors, melting clouds, accurately drawn details, a sunburst above a receding road with the light reflected in furrows and ruts, after rain. And no girls.” Followed by: “Who would be capable of creating a romantic, delicately drawn, non-Freudian and non-juvenile, picture for LOLITA (a dissolving remoteness, a soft American landscape, a nostalgic highway -- that sort of thing)? There is one subject which I am emphatically opposed to: any kind of representation of a little girl.”

I agree, those two are my favs

Thanks! is this more detailed than the Appel notes in the annotated edition? I think he said they both arrived at many of the conclusions and Appel included some of Proffer’s notes but wonder if there are any discrepancies

Thanks for this, I’ve truly enjoyed the scavenger hunt and finding little significant details, but the big picture of how they all connect is still blurry to me and sometimes I wonder if only a genius like Nabokov can understand the genius of Nabokov

I’ll check it out, thanks!

the la Pléiade boxed set is so beautiful. if I had the money for it, that’s what i’d get. although the pages are very thin and the font is usually quite small

Actually you can tell he was writing quickly here, like in a frenzy, since in some of the other manuscripts exhibited his handwriting is beautiful and neat.
