[quote=Anonymous]It is a masterfully written book about an absolutely horrific main character. There is a reason it is on so many “best literature” lists. It gave me nightmares, but it is also a remarkable work of art. What I find horrifying and awful isn’t the book. It’s pretty clear Nabokov was not endorsing the behavior; in fact, much of the genius of the book is the juxtaposition of the mundane with the horror. But the movies that were made are absolutely horrifying to me, because they turned what is a story of child abuse into a “romance.” Those are where you should focus your ire, not the book itself.
