Nabokov's prose reads like highest poetry, he is a true master. But the notoriety of the Pasternak's work trascended its quality.Some people joked that they wished the KGB confiscated every comy of that dreaded work.
It does, however, contains some of the most beautiful poetry... those pages should be kept alive.
But I discussed this with my wife today - who would gladly give me in exchange for yet another Pasternak book - and she keeps cringing at the name "Lara". To a good Russian ear that name sounds so pathetically philistine (this is Nabokov's favorite word, BTW), it is impossible to understand how the master decided to use it.
I suspect given Nabokov's impeccable taste, it was things like that that really sent him ballistic.
