Hmm …

… The Meanest Things Vladimir Nabokov Said About Other Writers | Literary Hub. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

For what it's worth (probably very little), I disagree about Eliot and Conrad and Camus. He's certainly right about Lady Chatterly, though Lawrence wrote good poetry and short stories. Faulkner also wrote some good stories. I once took Auden to task for a translation of Hölderlin, but I love his poetry. I think he is utterly right about Freud and Pound.
