In fact, "simple" and "sincere" were two adjectives that he despised. While teaching at Wellesley College and later at Cornell, Nabokov would give a low mark to any student who used the words, "simple" and "sincere" in a paper.

He looked for unexpected meanings in even the most ...             Verses and Versions: Three Centuries of Russian Poetry Selected and Translated by Vladimir Nabokov Harcourt, 2008 Vladimir Nabokov was hailed by Salman Rushdie as the most important writer ever to cross the boundary between one language and another.
