/lit/ - Literature

I always considered Lolita a solid 10/10 because of the beautiful prose (love that first paragraph about Lo-Lee-Ta being the tap against the teeth) and the intelligent empathy displayed for an otherwise abominable character like Humbert Humbert. My appreciation went even further when I started to consider that Humbert Humbert wasn't telling us the truth in its entirety and it made me doubt a lot of what he was telling me as the reader - things that happen so conveniently for him, his fucking name and other details definitely come under scrutiny on the second reading.

I was wondering, if I love Lolita so much, where should I go next with Vladamir Nabokov's books?

lmao this is the edition i have what the fuck does it mean

this one is really underrated

literally my copy of lolita has this as its cover. i kind of appreciate that it doesnt go on the nose with just a picture of some young girl but it feels pretty damn irrelevant to the novel

if you picked this up with little knowledge about the book whatsoever you could easily assume it was some guide to drawing for old women with copious amounts of bowls of fruit
