i overheard a boy in my contemporary lit. class say, “women can’t like lolita because it’s about pedophilia and misogyny.  ugh, ugh, ugh.  

i have to say, i find lolita an incredibly well written book, but it’s disturbing. my best friend couldn’t finish reading it. but i just love the way nabokov writes, i can’t help it.
