I didn't intend to attribute my opinions to VN. However, he makes it clear
over and over that the primary reason for writing is the self-amusement of
the writer. Faulkner, in his many examinations of the changing values of
the South and of the rest of the nation, makes it clear that
"self-amusement" is not his purpose. It is my own extrapolation to deduce
from this that Nabokov would find that Faulkner is writing for purposes that
are less than the primary purpose. I merely offer this as a possible reason
for Nabokov's suggested dislike of Faulkner. Nabokov could, of course, have
had many other reasons, or completely different ones.

That's the reason, is it? Rather reductive reading of Faulkner--yours,
that
is. I wouldn't attribute it to Nabokov.
