His father was a Kadet and he supported the Vietnam War.

Supported the Amerikkkan side? I guess that's not too surprising.

I'm personally kind of conflicted. I thought Pale Fire had some really beautiful and stirring bits, and I really liked the narrative mechanism. I thought it was very creative.

Lolita has some skillful writing, but I'm not sure I think the premise is ok. It's pretty fucked up.

I haven't read anything else by him yet, but he has quite a few other books.
