Christ, thank you. The number of folks who assume they understand that novel without having read it... gah.

[chardmonster]

In their defense I thought the very same of the book until I read the Wikipedia article. The popular memory of that book is fucked up.

Has anyone actually read Lolita? (of course they have, sarcasm)

[(Anonymous)]

I did my thesis on it.

My relationship with that novel is... a little fucked up. Like to a metafictional level.

Anyway, to answer your question, yes I've read it and I quite like it.

[ariakas]

Yes I've read it. I even got into an argument on the old LJ F!S about it years ago, which if I recall correctly ended with someone declaring my opinion invalid because I like Hemingway.

Ohh, tell me more!

[ariakas]

I honestly don't remember it that well but I think it was about the protagonist, whom I think is just about the most insufferable, least redeemable man on the planet, and anon who thought he was legitimately in love with the titular character. I dropped somewhere that I thought this was brilliant work on Nabokov's part because I've never really been a big fan of Nabokov because I find his prose overwrought and yet he made me feel such intense loathing for this fictional man.

Anyway a bunch of people jumped on me for not liking Nabokov and one of them said I bet you like Hemingway, don't you - and I do - thus apparently I am disqualified from interrogating the themes of Lolita and it really is a love story.

Wow, that is some classy literary wank. We need more of that caliber nonsense instead of "EVERYBODY IS GODAWFUL AND TERRIBLE SCUMBAGS BUT WHO'S THE LITERAL WORST"

J. K. Rowling said it was a "great and tragic love story." I don't think she got it, either.

(I once made the mistake of telling a super conservative Christian lady I was doing my thesis on role playing games and a novel "by the author of Lolita" [because she had never heard of Pale Fire]. Many pearls were clutched....)
