[quote=Anonymous]I read it a long time ago, in my teens. It’s really well written and really sad. I don’t get why the PP thought it was hilarious. The girls life is ruined and the main character has basically no insight into what a piece of crap he is. At the end of the day, I think it got a lot of attention for all the wrong reasons — basically people were very titillated by it, and it’s kind of sad that books is what he is best remembered for. I don’t think Nabokov was happy with that. I also can’t really separate its popularity in the 1970s and 1980s with the rock music of the era celebrating relationships with teen girls, the fashion industry at the time sexualiIng young girls, and what we now know about rich people and celebrities abusing teen girls. It’s hard to separate it from Pretty Baby and that whole vibe. [/quote]
