The question of Dostoevsky and Nabokov:
I fell in love with Nabokov after reading from his short story--- A Bad Day—the description of a horse taking a ****; I was astounded, morally horrified, yet shocked and appreciative I had been catapulted into a new realm of literature's soul, and then without notice treacherously led into a devil’s pathological abyss when reading the homicide scene from Dostoevsky’s crime and punishment.
I felt squeamish yet aroused when I read some of the sex scenes from Nabokov’s Lolita; when i read from Dostoevsky’s the brothers Karamazov ,I felt authorized to take on the pretentious Christian God; when the ninety year old cardinal confronts Jesus Christ with the words: "Feed men, and then ask of them virtue!"
