Based retard. Next you're going to tell me Nabokov didn't write Lolita and it was actually Vivian Darkbloom.

it was written and signed by his semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares. English translations use Fernando Pessoa as the author in the cover, maybe because of marketing reasons, but rarely the native language editions make that mistake

Fernando Pessoa is a hack and his flowery incel poetry is greatly overrated

I just googled this and even though I’ve read Lolita I don’t remember the character at all. Are they only mentioned? I remember him confronting Quilty obviously but no Vivian. Been awhile

That makes sense but some wikis are saying they’re in the book. I don’t remember that.
