RE: Lolita: An Exquisite Exploration of a Monstrous Mind | Book Review

I agree that the quality of the writing is exceptional, with language rich in references, puns and details that require close reading. It is as if Nabokov is challenging us to face the duality of being attracted to the beauty of the text, while morally rejecting the actions of the work. 👍

Seems from his interviews like he didn't care much about questioning morality in this novel, although I think it's a given. Focus is primarily on the aesthetics.
