NON NEGOTIABLES!!!!!!!!! notes from the underground you specifically need the translation where the book cover is like two hands drawing each other and the foot notes are really long to explain russian pop culture references

Obviously. Irrepressible in its lavishness…a novel of true decadence and maximalism. Featuring breathless, flushed sexuality, it is a revelation of the aesthetic charge of our bodies. I could list some quotes but the point is that reading it is an electrifying experience and if you feel it needs defending I point you towards Becca Rothfeld’s article ‘the Real Lolita’ in issue 20 of The Point.

- metafiction with a twist: the book presents as if it was a serious literary commentary (with footnotes and everything) of the last poem of a recently-murdered poet. but oh... never trust a nabokov narrator...
- perfect for internet sleuths, gossips, and folks who always think their partner is cheating on them and need another outlet for that energy: overthink this. it's how it's meant to be read. decode the footnotes, the glossary, the index, as well as the main text. really take your time with it. go on. you got the time clearly...
- raise eyebrows at the bus but only for good reasons: you can bring this baby outside no problem. get the sophistication of Nabokov without the "hmm reader with critical thinking skills or pedophile with no reading comprehension?" of Lolita.
