The picture of Dorian Gray was pretty hot and steamy. Gay though.

The Golden Ass has some penis engorging passages. Too bad the novel devolves into some cringey religious mysticism in the last book. Up to then it's great fun though and I recommend it.

Really? I've finished The Lime Twig recently and I've yet to fully recover from the visceral poetic portrayal of violence. If he does the with lovemaking then...I'll be in my bunk.

a couple of scenes out of context are pretty hot though
if the book ended before the roadtrip and expanded on the time before it could pass for erotica

>dumb faggot thinks Humbert isn't the narrator

>> No.8152275

>>8152254
The only erotic scene (that I can recall, at least) wasn't even part of the narration, it was part of Humbert's diary excerpt. And the scene where they finally fuck is pretty much in summary.

>> No.8152293

>>8152275
You do realize that the whole thing after the preface is Humbert's diary, right? That and there are a quite a few scenes where he describes their sexual encounters, but in flowery, somewhat vague ways.

It's a short story collection, but Brief Interviews with Hideous Men by DFW.

No, there is one specific section of diary entry. The rest is his testimony. Which contributes to his unreliability as a narrator. He probably actually pushed Lo's mom into the car rather than her running into it.
