Apparently I either completely forgot the entire thing, or was at such a different point in my life that I didn't think twice about how offensive and painful Lolita truly is. Who allowed this to become so ingrained into our society? How did this novel get to be so literarily predominate? Who thinks this is important in any way?
I've come across arguments in favor of this work, saying it's a love story. Umm. No it's not. Anything based on furtive sex with a minor who cries during and afterward is not love. Especially when the narrator doesn't care. Selfish indulgence.
